Maple-Glazed Acorn Squash

From one of Charlotte's many recipe notebooks. Cut out of a magazine and marked with an asterisk. I've made a couple of changes. The original called for maple-flavored syrup and probably assumed you'd think of greasing the pan.

• Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 2  acorn squash
• 2⁄3 cup maple syrup
• 1⁄2 cup  soft breadcrumbs
• 1⁄4 cup margarine, softened

Directions

1. Trim ends of squash; then cut cross-wise into 1-inch slices. Discard seeds.
2. Arrange squash slices in a single layer in a large baking pan prepared with non-stick spray. Season lightly with salt & pepper.
3. Cover and bake at 350* for 30-35 minutes.
4. Combine remaining ingredients and spread evenly over squash. Return to oven and bake UNcovered for 15 to 20 more minutes, basting occasionally with the accumulating juices.
