MICROWAVE ACORN SQUASH
Just microwave! You don't have to use the oven. You can just do one acorn squash instead of two, if you choose. Pricking all over, then putting in the microwave for a few minutes to soften a little, makes it easier to cut.

APPLE-STUFFED ACORN SQUASH MICROWAVE-STYLE!
Only 7 ingredients and made in the microwave, so you can throw this together in a jiffy. Great comfort food for the fall and winter months. Tart, sweet and good for you too. Perfect for those on a low sodium diet. NOTE: I have made the celery optional and I agree it is better without. I also use WAY more butter and cinnamon than what the recipe calls for :)

APPLE CREAM CHEESE STUFFED ACORN SQUASH (MICROWAVE)
A slight twist on a classic favorite, invented when I realized I had no butter. this is a wonderful breakfast or dessert, or just something to warm you up on a cozy fall day. It's one of my ultimate comfort foods. p.s.I usually just eyeball the ingredients. There really is no right or wrong amount of each, nor is there a limit on what kinds of extras you can add. You can also substitute pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon.
