Acorn Squash with Apple Recipes
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.
