Great recipe, very tasty with that touch of orange. I put Craisens in with it and then when I was checking your recipes I saw you had an apple/cranberry recipe. Thanks Tonkcats! -------------------- I used your recipe again only this time I made it with Summer Squash. I peeled and cut up the squash baked it covered for 15 min. Mixed in all the other ingredient and baked for 25 min. Delicious. Oh I used lemon peel instead of Orange and added the craisens. MMmmmm -
This recipe is outstanding. For my own little touch, I added a few dates to the filling. Thank you for a great recipe! -
I made this for my sweetie and he said it was definetly a keeper. I copied on a recipe card and that the recipe we will be using for acorn squash for now on. Thanx -
This recipe was fabulous! I haven't eaten a lot of acorn squash in the past but this recipe intriqued me so I gave it a try. My husband and I both loved it! I did make it for only two but made a generous amount of the stuffing to fill them. This is a keeper recipe.

Tonkcats,<br/>The only changes made, drizzled olive oil on pan before baking, I make my own brown sugar with Truvia and Molasses and then when it came out of oven I squeezed fresh orange juice over top. Will be buying more Acorn Squash to do this recipe. Thanks for posting! Justmez2

Used pecans instead of walnuts and it was great. Thanks for this recipe, my husband loved it served with grilled ham and marinated vegetables. -
I still don't like squash. I had gotten an acorn squash in a CSA box, so I thought I would try this recipe to use some of it. The apple filling was delicious though. I used lemon juice instead of orange zest, added dried cranberries, and used almonds. I will make the filling again and eat it by itself. (or make this recipe if I ever have squash in the house.

I made this as directed except I had to use lemon zest instead of orange and I halved the filling ingredients for 2 acorn squashes. Turned out great! Thanks for posting! -
I replaced the orange rinds with golden raisins and it came out great! Chopped up the walnuts as small as possible. I love autumn fruits & vegetables.

Wonderful recipe! I did have to substitute lemon zest in place of the orange as that was what I had on hand. After reading Bergy's review, I also added Crasins. I only had two squash and so halved the stuffing, but did add the full tbsp. of zest-- so it came out a little too lemony (whoever thought one could overdo zest?!?!), but that was my fault. DH and kids ate it all, which is saying something for squash in my house, so the 5 stars have been duly earned!
