Steps:
- 1. Mix together the chopped apples and lemon juice.
- 2. Mix together the sugars and spice.
- 3. Combine the apples with the sugar and spice mixture.
- 4. Fold in the crumbled bacon and chopped walnuts. Set aside while you prepare the acorn squash. (That will give the apple filling time to have its flavors come together.)
- 5. Cut the acorn squash in half and remove seeds.
- 6. Set on a round microwave-safe dish and pierce the inside of the squash with a fork.
- 7. Melt 2 Tbsp of butter. Brush the inside of the squash with the melted butter.
- 8. Sprinkle 2 tsp of brown sugar and a couple of pinches of salt and pepper over acorn squash halves to season the squash.
- 9. Then microwave for 6 minutes.
- 10. Fill the squash with the apple filling. (Depending on the size of your squash you may have some extra filling leftover.) Dot the top of each squash with the remaining 2 Tbsp of butter. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tsp of brown sugar over the filling.
- 11. Microwave again for 6 minutes.
- 12. Remove from the microwave. The dish will be hot so use pot holders to remove the dish from the microwave. Let it sit in the dish for a few minutes to cool. Then serve.
