3 fresh acorn squash
salt to taste
2 or 3 tart apples
butter
6 tablespoons brown sugar
nutmeg to taste
Cut squash in half lengthwise, and remove seeds. Place cut-side
down, in shallow greased baking dish; add 1/2 cup boiling water;
cover. Bake in preheated 350° oven 10 minutes. Remove from
oven; remove cover. Turn squash cut-side up; sprinkle with salt.
Cut apples into wedges, and fill squash with them. Dot generously
with butter. Sprinkle each squash with 1 tablespoon brown sugar,
then with a little nutmeg. Pour 1/2 cup boiling water into baking
dish. Bake 30 minutes or until squash and apples are tender.
*Delicata squash could also be used, but probably wouldnt need
as much sugar.
