Ingredients
  

Squash

  • 1 large acorn squash, seeded and quartered
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Non-stick cooking spray
  • 1 large cooking apple, unpeeled, cored and sliced
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Maple Flavored Syrup

  • 1 cup apple juice
  • 2-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
  • 1/4 cup Equal Spoonful (granulated)*
  • 1 teaspoon maple flavoring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place squash quarters cut side up in square baking dish. Add 1/2 cup water. Bake, covered, for 30-40 minutes or until squash is tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, spray a medium skillet with cooking spray; place over medium heat. Add apples, raisins and walnuts. Cook for 5 minutes or until apple slices are tender. Set aside.
  • For maple syrup, combine apple juice and cornstarch in a small pan. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil and stir until thickened and bubbly (it should coat the back of a spoon). Remove from heat. Stir in butter, sweetener, maple flavoring and vanilla until well blended.
  • Add maple flavored syrup to apple mixture. Cook 2-3 more minutes or until heated through.
  • As squash comes out of oven, place squash on serving platter and spoon apple mixture over top of squash.
