Ingredients 

  • ¼ acorn squash
  • ¼ apple
  • ¾ tsp olive oil
  • 1 pinch cinnamon
  • 1 ½ tsp water
  • salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions 

  • To start, cut your acorn squash in half length-wise and scoop out all the seeds. Then, put face down on a baking sheet and bake at 350º for about 40 minutes so it’s nice and soft. Set aside and let cool.
  • While that is cooling off, turn the stove onto medium heat. Chop up your apple into bite-sized pieces (you can leave the skin on). Add water to the bottom of a small pot, and add apples to the pot. Cook over medium heat until apples are soft (If water evaporates, add a bit more). Usually it takes about 5-10 minutes until they’re soft.
  • Drain the apples and set aside.
  • Let squash cool and then scoop out the insides of the squash with a large spoon and place in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Mash the squash with the back of your spoon until it is the consistency of mashed potatoes.
  • Then, add in the olive oil, salt, cinnamon, and cooked apples. Mash some more until well mixed (I like to leave it a little bit chunky).
