Acorn Squash with Applesauce

Every fall when locally grown squash and apples appear in the farmers market I make this dish. It shows how well ingredients that grow together go together. That’s why it tastes so good!

Serving: Makes four sides

Tags: ,

Ingredients

2 acorn squash
1 cup or so applesauce
2 spoonfuls Butter
sprinkle Salt and Pepper

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Cut the squash in half and scrape out the seeds. Place skin side down, cut side up in a baking dish. Add a large spoonful of applesauce to the center of each one and top with a pat of butter. Season with salt and pepper.

Add a splash of water to the pan then slide into the middle of your oven. Bake until golden brown and caramelized, about an hour or so. Enjoy!
