Best 7 Acorn Squash With Apple Cornbread Stuffing Recipes

CORNBREAD DRESSING STUFFED ACORN SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut ends off of acorn squash, so you can stand both ends up straight. Cut in half. Try to make sure to leave enough of the end so there is a bottom for the stuffing to rest in.
• Brush the squash on all sides with three teaspoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place flesh-side down on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 30 minutes.
• While the squash roasts, make the stuffing. Add sausage to a medium non-stick skillet. Set on a medium-high heat and use a wooden spoon to break it up, cook until browned. Add a teaspoon of olive oil along with celery, onion, sage and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Saute until slightly softened, 5-6 minutes.
• Add bread, cornbread, butter, poultry seasoning, chicken stock, egg, hot sausage, veggies and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt to a medium bowl. Stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Once the squash roasts for 30 minutes, remove from the oven. Use a spatula to flip the squash over, then evenly divide the stuffing between the squash. Place back in the oven for another 25-30 minutes until the squash is soft and stuffing is crisp and golden brown.

ACORN SQUASH WITH APPLE

Steps:

• To easily peel the acorn squash without losing a lot of vegetable, gently drop the squash in a large pot of boiling water, and boil for 15 minutes. Pour off the boiling water and fill with cold water and let sit 5 minutes to cool. When cool enough to handle, use a knife to slice off the peel on the ridges and use a teaspoon to dig out the peel in the valleys. Slice the squash in half and remove the seeds and stem. Then slice the halves into sections and finally cut into 1 inch chunks.
• Place the squash chunks into a large microwave-safe bowl along with the apples. Dot with pieces of butter. Sprinkle the brown sugar, walnuts, salt and cinnamon over the top. Cover with plastic wrap, and poke a few holes in it for ventilation.
• Cook in the microwave for 7 1/2 minutes on full power. Remove, uncover, and stir. Return to the microwave, and cook for another 7 1/2 minutes on full power, until tender. Serve hot.
