Acorn Squash with Apple

 

Peeling an acorn squash is the key to this delicious dish that's cooked in a

microwave. A fast and easy delight for busy families.

 

Prep Time 20 Min

Cook Time 15 Min

Ready In 35 Min

 

Ingredients

 

1 acorn squash

2 apples, cored and sliced

1 tablespoon butter

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon finely chopped walnuts

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

 

Directions

 

To easily peel the acorn squash without losing a lot of vegetable, gently drop

the squash in a large pot of boiling water, and boil for 15 minutes. Pour off

the boiling water and fill with cold water and let sit 5 minutes to cool. When

cool enough to handle, use a knife to slice off the peel on the ridges and use a

teaspoon to dig out the peel in the valleys. Slice the squash in half and remove

the seeds and stem. Then slice the halves into sections and finally cut into 1

inch chunks.

 

Place the squash chunks into a large microwave-safe bowl along with the apples.

Dot with pieces of butter. Sprinkle the brown sugar, walnuts, salt and cinnamon

over the top. Cover with plastic wrap, and poke a few holes in it for

ventilation.

 

Cook in the microwave for 7 1/2 minutes on full power. Remove, uncover, and

stir. Return to the microwave, and cook for another 7 1/2 minutes on full power,

until tender. Serve hot.
