Today Barb, our holiday recipe extraordinaire, has shared another great fall Real Food recipe for stuffed acorn squash that would be perfect for Thanksgiving! I do believe this recipe is the answer to my recent Friday Food Flop, my blah-tasting stuffed squash (which actually looked pretty, though):
Barb's Stuffed Acorn Squash
Ingredients
- 1/2 squash per person gutted
- 1 small apple per serving cored and chopped. Peel if desired.
- 1/4 cup of crispy pecans or walnuts per serving coarsely chopped
- 1/8 cup of fresh/frozen cranberries per serving halved
- 1 Tablespoon or more butter per serving
- Cinnamon
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- Mix the chopped apples, nuts and cranberries together, fill squash and top with butter. Sprinkle and drizzle desired amount of cinnamon and maple syrup. Cover each with tin foil and place in a roasting pan. Bake at 375* for about an hour or until squash is tender.

My garden exploded and I got 49 pie pumpkins and 36 spaghetti squash. I’m starting to get sick of squash.

When the recipe says “1 small apple per serving”, what is a serving? Is each half squash a serving? I think that’s what the recipe implies, but I wasn’t sure.
KitchenKop says
Yep, 1/2 squash per person/per serving.
