How to Make Stuffed Butternut Squash
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp.
- Place the squash halves, cut-side down, in a 15x10 inch baking sheet.
- Pour enough hot water into the baking sheet to reach a depth of ½ inch.
- Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
- While the squash is baking, prepare the filling:
- In a large bowl, combine 1 medium apple (peeled, cored, and shredded), 1/2 cup cooked ham (diced), 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the squash from the oven and carefully turn the halves cut-side up.
- Spoon the ham and apple mixture evenly into the cavity of each squash half.
- Cover the stem end of each squash half with foil to prevent drying.
- Return the stuffed squash to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the filling is heated through.
