Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 3 acorn squash, halved and seeded

  • 2 tablespoons stick margarine

  • 1 cup chopped onions

  • 3 cups peeled, seeded, and chopped Granny Smith apples

  • ½ cup golden raisins

  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

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

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

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

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

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