Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients:

3 medium acorn squashes
2 tablespoons butter
3 cups peeled and chopped tart apples
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup golden raisins
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1-1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut squashes in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds and strings. Bake cut side down in 1/2-inch of water until tender, about 40 minutes. While squashes are baking, prepare the stuffing.

In a skillet melt the butter and saute apples and onion for 10 minutes or until both are very tender. In a large bowl combine apples and onion with raisins, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cheese. Place cooked squashes on a cookie sheet and divide apple stuffing evenly among cavities. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until apples are soft and cheese is melted. This dish, which can be prepared ahead, is great for holiday entertaining.

    I made this Apple-Stuffed Acorn Squash today and it’s a delectable treat!
    Our Canadian Thanksgiving Day is celebrated on the second Monday of October when the leaves are in their glorious autumn garb, and I plan to make it for my family on that special day.
