Apple Cream Cheese Stuffed Acorn Squash (Microwave) image

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.
