How to Make Sweet Baked Pumpkin

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Prepare the pumpkin: Cut the pumpkin in half, remove seeds and stringy pulp. (Tip: Use a spoon to scoop out seeds and pulp for easiest cleanup!)
  3. In a large bowl, combine: 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and diced), 1/2 cup raisins, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice. Mix well.
  4. Gently fill each pumpkin half with the apple mixture.
  5. Place the filled pumpkin halves in a shallow baking dish. Add about 1 inch of water to the bottom of the dish to prevent burning.
  6. Bake for 105 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the pumpkin is easily pierced with a fork.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Scoop the warm pumpkin mixture into bowls and serve over a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream.
