A slight twist on a classic favorite, invented when I realized I had no butter. this is a wonderful breakfast or dessert, or just something to warm you up on a cozy fall day. It's one of my ultimate comfort foods. p.s.I usually just eyeball the ingredients. There really is no right or wrong amount of each, nor is there a limit on what kinds of extras you can add. You can also substitute pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon. Ingredients:
1 acorn squash |
2 apples, cubed |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/4 cup cream cheese (softened) |
1/4 cup raisins (optional) or 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional) |
Directions:
1. Cut acorn squash in half lengthwise and spoon out the seeds.
2. Place halves, cut side down, in a microwave-safe dish with a couple tablespoons of water.
3. Cook (covered) in microwave on high for 5 minutes or until just tender.
4. Meanwhile, slice up your apples and mix with the sugar, cinnamon, cream cheese, and the optional raisins/nuts.
5. When squash is done, turn them over and fill the holes with your apple mixture.
6. Put it back in the microwave (covered) for another 5 minutes.
7. Let squash rest for a few minutes to cool off before devouring.
