How to Make Baked Stuffed Pumpkin

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut the top off the pumpkin and set aside. Carefully scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp with a metal spoon, making sure to clean the inside well.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the chopped apples, walnuts, cranberry sauce, crushed pineapple, brown sugar, raisins, and rum (if using).
  4. Stir in the ground ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  5. Spoon the filling evenly into the prepared pumpkin cavity.
  6. Carefully replace the pumpkin top.
  7. Place the stuffed pumpkin on a baking sheet or a baking stone.
  8. Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until the pumpkin is tender and the filling is bubbly. Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the pumpkin; it should easily pierce the flesh.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Stir the filling gently to redistribute the ingredients.
  10. Serve warm. Enjoy!
