Stuffed Acorn Squash

By Derrick Riches, About.com Guide

Not only does this stuffed squash make a delicious dish but you can put it up on the grill while you are grilling everything else for your meal.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium acorn squash
  • 3 large apples
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup peanuts, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Preparation:

Core and dice apples. Leave the skin on. Cut acorn squash in half and remove the seeds and membranes. Brush insides with about 2 tablespoons butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place squash halves on the upper (warming) rack of a preheated grill cut side down. Grill until the squash begins to soften (about 30 minutes). Watch to make sure they don't start to burn.

Meanwhile, combine the remaining ingredients. Fill the squash with apple mixture. Place squash, stuffed side up this time on the grills upper rack and continue grilling for about 20 minutes or until the stuffing is good and hot.
