Step-by-Step Method
Preheat and prep the squash
Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the acorn squash in half and scoop out the seeds.
Mix the filling
In a bowl, combine diced apples, walnuts, and brown sugar. Stir so the sugar coats the apples evenly.
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.
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.
Rest and serve
Let it sit for 5 minutes after baking. Serve warm; scoop a bit of squash and filling together in each bite.
