Steps:
- Cut each acorn squash into 6 slices and remove seeds.
- Pour the stock and cider vinegar into a 6-quart slow cooker. Add the squash slices, drizzle with the olive oil, and sprinkle with the thyme leaves and some salt and pepper.
- Cover and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours.
- When the squash is fork-tender, heat a small saute pan over medium-high heat and add the butter. When hot but not smoking, add the thyme sprigs--they should sizzle--and fry for about 30 seconds, until darkened but not browned. Remove the sprigs to a paper towel-lined plate and let cool slightly before shaving off the leaves. Let the brown butter in the pan cool slightly, then drizzle it over the squash. Garnish with the fried thyme leaves.
SWEET ACORN SQUASH WITH APPLES AND CRAISINS (CROCK POT)
I was on the search for a crock pot method for acorn squash and wasn't happy with what I found. . .so I took a little from each recipe and created my own. The results were outstanding. If you have any leftovers, simply scoop out the pulp, apples, craisins and mix with juices in crock pot, mash slightly and freeze for a side dish at a later date! This recipe is quite forgiving, so don't worry about measuring everything out exactly. In our house, we eat this as a main course with a small salad on the side.

Steps:
- Turn crockpot to HIGH to get it warm while you fill it up.
- Pour apple juice in bottom of crockpot.
- Place squash, cut side up, in bottom of crockpot.
- On top of each piece of squash, sprinkle with salt, followed by 1/2 T butter, 1/2 T brown sugar, and 1 T dried cranberries.
- Sprinkle apples in and around the squash (about 1/4 cup will fit piled up on each squash).
- Juice lemon over the top of the apples, then sprinkle with the cinnamon and pour the maple syrup over the top.
- Cook the squash on LOW for 4-6 hours or HIGH for 2.5-4 hours. NOTE: crockpots are not created equal as far as temp goes and we will all buy different sized squash. . .that being said, cook times will vary. . .I don't mind eating mushy squash, but you can't eat undercooked squash simply because you can't cut it :) I cooked mine on low for 4 hours and it wasn't done so I cranked it up to high for 1 hour and it was perfectly cooked.
- When squash it tender, place each piece on a plate and sprinkle with the nuts.
- OPTIONAL: I am bad, so therefore I put another 2T of cold butter in with the apple juice and remaining apples on the bottom of the crockpot and stir til the butter is melted and then spoon the "sauce" over the top of the squash. If you like yours really sweet (as I do), feel free to drizzle it with more maple syrup or honey.
BEEF, ACORN SQUASH AND POTATO CROCK POT
I just discovered this on another website (author unknown). While I liked the idea of adding acorn squash (you could sub carrots), it was the allspice that made me want to try this recipe. When I make it, I think I will use butternut and I might double the allspice once I can see the volume of the combined ingredients.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place squash into a large pot of boiling water; boil for 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer squash to a large bowl of ice cold water and set aside until cool enough to handle, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Peel squash along the ridges using a vegetable peeler, then use a teaspoon or grapefruit spoon to dig out peel in the valleys of the squash. Slice squash in half and remove seeds and stem. Cut remaining squash into bite-sized chunks.
- Combine squash, apples, celery, onion, and dried cranberries in a large bowl.
- Combine brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl. Add to squash mixture and toss well to combine. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish. Add water and dot the top with butter. Sprinkle with walnuts.
- Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until squash is fork-tender, about 1 hour. Add some liquid halfway through to prevent drying out, if necessary. Serve hot.
