Acorn squash with apples

By LKWolfe

Ingredients

• 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and sliced
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 small acorn squash, about 6 inches in diameter
• 2 teaspoons trans-free margarine

Preparation

Step 1

Acorn squash is a good source of vitamins A and C, potassium, and fiber. Here it's paired with apples and brown sugar to make a hearty main dish. Serve along with whole-grain crackers and a small wedge of your favorite cheese to round out all food groups.

In a small bowl, mix together the apple and brown sugar. Set aside.

Place the squash on a cutting board and cut in half. Scrape the seeds out of the center of each half and discard the seeds. Fill the hollowed squash with the apple mixture.
