Apple and Raisin Stuffed Acorn Squash Ingredients
- 1 Acorn Squash (halved and seeded)
- 2 Tbsp, Butter
- 1 Granny Smith Apple (seeded and chopped)
- 1/4 cup, Brown Sugar

- 1/2 cup, Raisins
Apple and Raisin Stuffed Acorn Squash Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the squash onto a baking pan cut side down. Fill the baking pan with 1/4 inch of water.
Note: it is easier to make the finished squash sit up straight if you cut a flat spot on the back of each half. - Bake the squash in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Drain off any remaining water in the baking sheet and turn squash cut side up.
- While the squash is baking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the apple in the butter about 15 minutes. Stir the raisins, brown sugar, and Pumpkin spice into the mixture.
- Fill the acorn squash with the apple mixture. Return the squash to the oven and bake until the filling is hot (about 15 minutes).

I love this idea! I’ve never thought of stuffing a squash with apple (even though the flavors really go well together). I bet that this would be good as a savory dish with some sage and onions too.

This recipe was so wonderful! I used coconut oil instead to make the recipe vegan and used other spices (since I do not have pumpkin spice on hand.)

Kacey, that is a great substitution too – we love coconut oil!

This was delicious! I cooked some bacon and then cooked the apples with the bacon drips. I also added some pine nuts. Perfect for Thanksgiving!
