Baked Acorn Squash and Apples

Kree's Note:

This recipe is posted in response to a request for ways to use acorn squash. I've never tried it, but it looks excellent! I got it from Jackie Manni at The Post Punk Kitchen (a website of vegan recipes). I'm sorry the amounts aren't more specific, but this is what she posted!

• Total Time: 1 hrs 15 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 1 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 1 acorn squash
• 1 little water
• 2 apples, cored and sliced thin
• canola oil
• maple syrup
• pumpkin pie spice

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Cut the acorn squash and scoop out the seeds and strings.
3. Put a little water in a baking pan; place the halves face down and bake for 1/2 hour.
4. Then, take it out and put the sliced apples in the middle (some will fall over the sides, it's okay); drizzle with canola oil and maple syrup, and sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice.
5. Bake for another 1/2 hour to 40 minutes (until the apples are soft and browning).
6. Put your acorn squash halves in individual plates; scoop up the stray apples and stray maple syrup and spoon over the squash.
