Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Place the squash cut side up in a baking dish with ½ inch of water in the bottom of the pan.
- Cover the dish and bake for 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the cinnamon, pineapple, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger.

Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Select acorn squash that are firm, heavy for their size, and have a deep green color.
- Prepare the squash properly: Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and pulp. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast face down in a preheated oven until tender.
- Cook the filling: While the squash is roasting, cook the filling. This can be done on the stovetop or in a slow cooker. If using a slow cooker, cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
- Stuff the squash: Once the squash and filling are cooked, stuff the squash with the filling. Top with cheese and bake in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve immediately: Pineapple stuffed acorn squash is best served immediately, while hot and fresh out of the oven.
