Apple Stuffed Acorn Squash Recipe - Perfect for Fall!

Ingredients

• 3 acorn squash, halved and seeded
• 2 tablespoons stick margarine
• 3 cups peeled, seeded, and chopped Granny Smith apples
• 1 cup chopped onions
• 1.5 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup golden raisins
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to prepare for baking.
2. Place the acorn squash halves with the cut sides facing down on a baking sheet. Pour water onto the sheet, filling it to about ½ inch in height.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes. Ensure you drain any excess water after baking.
4. In the meantime, melt the margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced apples and onions, cooking until the onions become soft and translucent, which should take about 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the cooked mixture into a bowl and allow it to cool.
5. Once the squash is cooked, combine Cheddar cheese, raisins, brown sugar, and cinnamon into the apple mixture, stirring until well combined. Turn the squash halves over on the baking sheet and generously fill each cavity with the apple mixture.
6. Return the filled squash to the heated oven and bake until the filling is thoroughly heated and the cheese is nicely melted, approximately 15 minutes.
