Ingredients

Acorn squash
Apples (peeled and diced)
Walnuts (roughly chopped)
Brown sugar
Margarine (or neutral plant-based spread)
Water

Step-by-Step Method

5-step method
01

Preheat and prep the squash

Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the acorn squash in half and scoop out the seeds.

02

Mix the filling

In a bowl, combine diced apples, walnuts, and brown sugar. Stir so the sugar coats the apples evenly.

03

Fill and add fat

Place the squash halves in a baking dish. Spoon the apple mixture into the centers. Top each half with a small piece of margarine.

04

Bake until tender

Pour 2 tablespoons of water into the bottom of the dish. Bake for about 45 minutes, until the squash is easily pierced with a fork.

05

Rest and serve

Let it sit for 5 minutes after baking. Serve warm; scoop a bit of squash and filling together in each bite.
