Baked Acorn Squash with Blueberry-Walnut Filling image

I absolutely love squash-and I've filled it with so many variations of savory stuffing over the years. But my favorite way to stuff it is with an unexpected fruit filling, like this sweet apple-blueberry one. -Bruce Newcomer, Fredericksburg, Virginia

I followed the recipe exactly and the squash was undercooked. I had to put it back in the oven for an extra 30 minutes. Other than that, the recipe was good.
