Time 1h5m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup butter
¾ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup crushed saltine crackers
water, as needed
1 acorn squash, halved and seeded

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir cinnamon and brown sugar through the melted butter; remove from heat and stir crushed saltine crackers into the butter until moistened.
  • Pour enough water into a baking dish to be about 1 inch deep. Lay the acorn squash into the water with the rounded sides down. Fill the cavity of the squash with the saltine cracker mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the squash is easy to pierce with a fork, about 45 minutes.
