Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Baked Acorn Squash with Apple Filling.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and give a baking sheet a light coat of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Next, take your acorn squash and slice it in half, placing the halves cut-side down on the greased baking sheet.
Step 3
In a small baking dish, mix together diced apple, crunchy celery, a splash of water, minced onion, and cubes of butter.
Step 4
Cover this delightful mixture with aluminum foil to keep all those flavors locked in.
Step 5
Now, pop both the squash and the apple mixture into the oven and let them bake for about 45 minutes, or until everything is tender and fragrant.
Step 6
Once they’re done, carefully turn the squash halves over and fill them with the warm apple mixture.
Step 7
To finish off this delicious dish, drizzle a little maple syrup on top and sprinkle with ground cinnamon to taste.
Step 8
Enjoy the sweet and savory harmony of flavors in every bite!.
