Ingredients
- 1 Granny Smith apple – peeled, cored and sliced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 acorn squash
- 2 teaspoons butter
Directions
- Mix together the apple and brown sugar. Set aside.
- Pierce the squash several times with a sharp knife to let the steam escape during cooking. Microwave on high until tender, about 5 minutes. Turn the squash after 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Place the squash on a cutting board and cut in half. Scrape the seeds out of the center of each half and discard the seeds. Fill the hollowed squash with the apple mixture.
- Return the squash to the microwave and cook until the apples are softened, about 2 minutes.
- Transfer the squash to a serving dish. Top each half with 1 teaspoon butter.
- Serve immediately.
