Apple Stuffed Acorn Squash

[tree_78]

I haven't tasted this but it smells great and the texture seems perfect. I baked the squash alone for 30 minutes and then with the apples for 30 minutes. I also mixed the apples with the spices and sugar (1 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp cinnamon). It is going to be awesome! Thanks for the idea! Happy Thanksgiving!

This was very nice, especially on a cold Minnesota winter's night.  I modified it slightly by adding not "a dash" of nutmet, but six dashes in with the apples and brown sugar before baking.  Not being a vegan, I also used 2 pats of butter per squash half.

I added an extra 1/2 cup of brown sugar, a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a tablespoon of ground cinnamon. Instead of steaming the acorn  squash, which I find to be an undesirable method of preparing squash, I roasted it.

It came out very well

This is very similar to how I make my acorn squash but without apples!
(Nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, black pepper..)
I never thought of adding apples! How yummy!! 
GREAT Thanksgiving/Fall dish! Thanks for the idea!

Oh, I will also put mine under the broiler for 5-10 minutes just before serving.
Adds a yummy browned top! I assume with the apples and sugar, it will give it a nice caramelized finish.

Thank you for the recipe!!! my boyfriends favorite is squash, and this was my first try, he loved it!!

I, as mentioned in a review, added the sugar (i used organic granulated sugar, 3/4 C.) to the apples along with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger, 2tbsp of veg shortening, 1tsp vanilla, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

the tops of the mix (i piled it up!) got carmelized and crunchy and were sooo good!!

excellent for the upcoming holidays

I make a similar stuffed acorn squash but I add raisins and cranberries to the apple and use agave nectar instead of the sugar.  I also think I put in cinnamon.  A very tasty fall treat!

Loved it!! My whole family loved it as well including my 9 month old son! I added the onion and cinnamin and it was superb!! I will definately make again

this recipe was delicious. i, too, added dried fruit to the recipe, and some nuts, cinnamon and i didn't use sugar at all.

Darn yummy. 

My first go with acorn squash and I'm definitely a fan. 

Gonna make for a Tday potluck dinner!  Thanks!

I never had acorn squash before (just picked it up in the organic section 'cause it looked cool) but this is YUMMY!  What is the texture supposed to be like- soft, sort of stringy, like a sweet potato kinda? 
I'll probably make this for the fam as Thanksgiving lunch.
I also roasted the seeds with some salt- yum.

This was so good. It got RAVE reviews from my omni family members during our thanksgiving lunch.

Thank you!

p.s. I made it just like the recipe only I had it in the oven for like.. 30 mins so it was really carmalized. I used smart balance light margarine.

THis was ok-I don't know, I've never really had a baked squash recipe that I've really loved yet.  Would make again if I had squash I needed to use.

I thought I should review this since I just listed it as one of my most favorite VegWeb recipes on here. I love the ones that give ideas on how to cook foods I otherwise would have no clue about, and winter squash (of all varieties) is definitely at the TOP of that list!

YUM! I want to say that I have in the past baked the squash on its own for awhile rather than in the water, to get that roasted taste. In this case I roast on its own for longer than 20 minutes... maybe closer to 30? My spices were a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves with brown sugar. I seem to want to say that I added nuts to the apple filling too (probably walnuts), but maybe not. It sounds good, though!

I made this using brown rice syrup (I didn't have any sugar) and olive oil instead of margarine - like others, I added cinnamon and cloves, and a little salt.  I think I did the steaming wrong, because it took forever to cook, but it turned out pretty great anyway.  Next time I would definitely try adding nuts.  This is a really good idea - the apples go great with the squash.
