Acorn Squash with Apple
Submitted By: Ed Haley @ allrecipes.com
"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 Minutes
Cook Time: 15 Minutes
Ready In: 35 Minutes
Servings: 6
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:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
