Apple-Stuffed Acorn Squash

1 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2 . Stage

Place squash halves onto a baking sheet, cut-sides down. Fill the baking sheet with 1/2 inch of water.

3 . Stage

Bake squash in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Drain off any water remaining in the baking sheet.

4 . Stage

While squash is baking, melt margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and apple in margarine until onion has softened and turned translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Scrape the mixture into a bowl to cool until the squash has finished baking.

Once squash is done, stir raisins, brown sugar, cinnamon, and Cheddar cheese into the apple mixture. Turn squash cut-sides up on the baking sheet and fill with the apple mixture.

Return squash to the oven; bake until the filling is hot and cheese has melted, about 15 minutes.
