- Serves:

4
ingredients
- 2 (1 lb) acorn squash, medium size
- 2 cups apples, peeled and finely chopped
- 1⁄2 cup cranberries, coarsely chopped (if using frozen, do not thaw)
- 1⁄4 cup raisins
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons pecans, chopped (optional)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg
directions
- Cut each squash in half crosswise; scoop out and discard the seeds. Trim a small piece off the bottom of each half, if necessar, to allow the squash to sit upright.
- Combine the apples, cranberries, raisins, brown sugar, and pecans, if desired, in a medium-sized bowl, and stir to mix well. Dive the mixture evenly among the squash shells. Sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg over each.
- Coat a shallow baking with nonstick cooking spray (I use a healthy margarine as I try to avoid aerosols). Arrange squash in the dish. Cover and bake at 350 F for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until the squash are tender. Serve hot.

I am in my second year of retirement and thoroughly enjoying it. My husband Ron and I have been married for 28 years and are the proud parents of 2 sons in their 20's. We have lived in Barrie, a growing city on the shores of Lake Simcoe in Ontario, for 30 years and have no plans to move anytime in the near future. Obviously, we like it here!

<br>I like to try different recipes and have found Receipzaar a great resource. Reading the reviews that others cooks have posted has also helped me become a little more adventurous in making adaptations myself. I have always been a bit of a slave to the written recipe and now find myself incorporating other suggestions and even making a few of my own modifications.
