Ingredients

cooking spray
1 spaghetti squash
2 tablespoons butter
0.25 cup brown sugar
1 pinch ground nutmeg, or to taste
1 pinch ground cinnamon, or to taste
2 apples, peeled and thinly sliced

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Microwave the spaghetti squash for 1 minute to soften. Cut it in half and scoop out the seeds. Place the squash cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the squash in the preheated oven until it's tender, approximately 30 minutes. Flip it over using tongs. Place 1 tablespoon of butter into each cavity, then sprinkle brown sugar inside. Dust the squash with nutmeg and cinnamon, and fill with sliced apples.
Continue baking the squash until the apple slices become tender, which should take an additional 30 to 40 minutes.
Divide the baked apple slices among serving plates. Use a fork to scrape the spaghetti squash out of its skin and place it over the apple slices to serve.
