How To make Apple Filled Squash Halves
2 ea Acorn Squash; Md
1 lb Lean Ground Beef
1 1/2 t Salt
1/2 t Cinnamon
2 c Apples; Pared & Chopped,2 Lg
1/4 c Raisins
1 x Salt
4 tb Brown Sugar; Packed
2 tb Margarine Or Butter; Melted
Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut each of the squash in half and remove the seeds and fibers. Place the squash, cut sides down, in an ungreased baking pan. Then add water to the depth of 1/4-inch and bake, uncovered, until the squash is tender, about 30 to 40 minutes. While the squash is baking, cook and stir the meat in a large skillet until it is brown. Drain off the excess fat. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the 1 1/2 ts of salt as well as the cinnamon, the coarsely chopped tart apples and the raisins. When the squash is cooked, turn them so that the cut side is up and remove them to a platter. Drain off any remaining liquid in the pan and dry. Scoop out the pulp from the acorn squash, making a shell that is 1/4-inch thick all the way around. Season the shells with salt to taste. Mash the pulp and mix in the meat mixture. Return to the shells, piling them full and sprinkle with 1 tb of brown sugar on each. Drizzle with the melted butter. Bake uncovered until the apple is tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. Serve hot. NOTE: You can substitute a combination of 1/2 lb lean ground beef and 1/2 lb of bulk pork sausage for the 1 lb of lean ground beef.

Quinoa & Apple Stuffed Acorn Squash - Easy Vegan Fall Recipe
Autumn recipes are my favorite and today I'm sharing a super easy one for a quinoa stuffed acorn squash. I made it over the weekend and it was so good. It definitely got me in the seasonal spirit due to the addition of the acorn squash, apples, cinnamon, and craisins. All the yummy flavors of the season. I love the craisins in this recipe the most as it gives it a nice little sweet flavor and slight chew. Recipe below and on my blog:
Recipe:
Quinoa & Apple Stuffed Acorn Squash - Delicious Vegan Fall Recipe
(Serves 4)
2 acorn squash
1 cup dry Quinoa
2 cups vegetable broth
1 sweet onion, chopped
1/2 cup craisins
1 apple, chopped (I used Granny Smith)
1 tsp tumeric
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
a few chopped walnuts
Toppings:
pumpkin seeds
Preheat oven to 400 F
1. Cut the 2 acorn squash in half and remove seeds.
2. Line a baking sheet with foil and roast the squash on 400 F for 45 minutes, flipping halfway through. When it's finished let it cool for a bit.
3. In a saucepan, add in 1 cup quinoa and 2 cups veggie broth. Bring to a vigorous boil then reduce heat to simmer and cook for 15 minutes. It should come out nice and fluffy.
4. Next, saute the chopped onion in olive oil on medium heat until soft and translucent then add in the minced garlic and stir for an additional 30 seconds.
5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the quinoa, onions, craisins, apple, tumeric, salt, and pepper. Add in some walnuts if you want. Stir well to combine.
6. Assemble the acorn squash by adding the quinoa mixture until it's a heaping mound. Top with pumpkin seeds. Note: You can also pop it back in the oven on 400 F for 3-4 minutes if you want it a little warmer.
Enjoy!
