Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 acorn squash
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon honey (I use raw)
1 tablespoon brown sugar

1/4 cup pecan halves, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Cut squash in half from top to bottom and scoop out seeds.
  • Slice a thin strip off the bottom of the halves so that the squash does not rock when placed in a baking dish.
  • Place the slices form both apples in the cavity of the squash.
  • Drizzle honey over the apple slices.
  • Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over the apples, make sure to get the edges of the squash too.
  • Top apple slices with the cranberries and chopped pecans. Dot with butter.
  • Place in oven and bake 1-1/2 hours or until squash is fork tender.
