Cinnamon-Apple Acorn Squash
I don't know about you, but this is the very first year that I started cooking with any type of squash. I am probably extremely behind the curve, but my sister-in-law introduced me to Spaghetti Squash earlier this fall, thus began my obsession with all things squash.
Before Jennie introduced me, I always thought these were just for pretty fall decorations!
So, if you are like me, you don't even know what an acorn squash looks like; picture me standing in the middle of Produce Junction discreetly doing a google search on my iPhone for images of "Acorn Squash," all the while pretending that I know exactly what I'm doing (I did the same thing the first time I bought Spaghetti Squash.) I literally had no idea how to tell. I'll save you the trouble, look for this:The first time I made this acorn squash recipe, after our first bite Andy and I just stared at each other. I'm not kidding when I say it literally tastes like dessert. We felt so guilty eating it initially, but after going over the ingredient list one more time, guilt-free it is!
Ingredients:
1 Acorn Squash
1 Apple, peeled and cubed (I used gala)
1 TB juice from lemon
1 TB Butter
1 & 1/2 TB Honey + 1 tsp Molasses mixed together (an easier/non-clean version would be 2 TB brown sugar, I do this in a pinch.)
1 tsp Cinnamon
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Remove the stem from the Acorn Squash, and slice it in half through the middle.
Remove the seeds and gunk (you can keep the seeds for roasting if you want!)
Place the Squash cut-side down in a rimmed baking sheet.
Add about 1/4 inch of water.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Mix cubed apples with lemon juice.
Mix Honey and Molasses.
After the 30 minutes, remove the squash and turn it right side up the baking sheet.
Turn oven temp down to 350 degrees.
Brush 1/2 TB of butter in each half of the squash.
Put the apples in the squash, splitting them between the two halves, and then drizzle the honey mixture over each of them.
Sprinkle with cinnamon.
Replace in oven for another 30 minutes.
After it's done, I serve them directly in the squash bowls! Easy clean up, beautiful plate!
A delicious addition could be chopped walnuts or pecans, mixed with the honey and molasses!
