Apple-Stuffed Acorn Squash

Ingredients

• 3 acorns squash , halved and seeded
• 2 tablespoons stick margarine
• 3 cups peeled , seeded, and chopped Granny Smith apples
• 1 cup chopped onions
• 1.5 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cups golden raisins

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. 2

   Place squash halves, cut-side down, onto a baking sheet. Fill the baking sheet with 1/2 inch water.

   Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Drain off any water remaining in the baking sheet.

   While squash is baking, melt margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté apples and onions in hot margarine until onions have softened and turned translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Scrape mixture into a bowl to cool until squash has finished baking.

   Once squash is done, stir Cheddar cheese, raisins, brown sugar, and cinnamon into apple mixture until evenly combined. Turn squash halves over on the baking sheet and fill cavities with apple mixture.
