Cranberry Apple Stuffed Squash image

It's fall in Wisconsin! Made this up last night after traveling to our local apple orchard and picking out a beautiful autumn cup winter squash, a 'cousin' of the butternut squash, too good not to share!

Categories     Apple

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (2 -4 lb) buttercup squash (winter squash) or 1 (2 -4 lb) autumn cup squash (winter squash)
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium apple, diced
1/2 cup fresh cranberries, frozen can also be used
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons chopped pecans, toasted
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 and prepare baking dish large enough to hold your squash.
  • Halve squash and scoop out the pulp.
  • Place cut side down in baking dish and bake for 35 minutes. I usually add just a bit of water to the dish to keep the squash moist.
  • About 7-10 minutes before your timer goes off, prepare filling. Heat small saucepan over medium heat, add butter, diced apple, fresh cranberries, brown sugar, pecans and cinnamon. Heat over medium heat until butter is melted, then simmer on low until timer goes off.
  • Remove squash from oven, flip over and fill with apple/cranberry filling.
  • Bake an additional 25-35 minutes depending on the type and size of your squash, again adding just a little water to the bottom of your baking dish. Squash is done when fork tender.

This recipe was a disaster! The stuffing was bland and the squash was undercooked. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I had some trouble getting the squash to cook all the way through. I ended up having to bake it for an extra 30 minutes.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was still good. I think next time I'll use less sugar in the stuffing.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The flavors were well-balanced and the squash was cooked perfectly. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables and it was a hit with my family.

This dish was absolutely delightful! The combination of sweet cranberries, tart apples, and savory squash was perfect. The stuffing was flavorful and moist, and the squash was tender and cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again!
