Delicious Holiday Acorn Squash Recipe from Grandma's Kitchen
  • Prep Time

    1 hrs 5 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of creamy butter
  • ¾ cup of rich brown sugar
  • A generous tablespoon of aromatic ground cinnamon
  • A cup of finely crushed saltine crackers
  • Refreshing water to achieve desired consistency
  • One luscious acorn squash, halved and carefully seeded

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). In a cozy saucepan over gentle heat, let the butter melt until it becomes a silky golden liquid. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon and a dash of brown sugar to the mix, then take it off the heat. Stir in the crushed saltine crackers until they soak up the buttery goodness.

Step 2

Now, grab a baking dish and fill it with about an inch of water. Gently place the acorn squash in the dish, ensuring the rounded sides are facing down. Next, generously stuff the cavity of the squash with the flavorful saltine cracker concoction.

Step 3

Slide the dish into the preheated oven and let it bake until the squash turns tender and can be easily pierced with a fork. This usually takes around 45 minutes, but keep an eye on it to achieve the perfect texture. Enjoy this delightful dish straight from the oven!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Begin by selecting firm acorn squash that feels heavy for its size - this ensures freshness and flavor in your dish.
  2. 2. When storing acorn squash, make sure to keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. A pantry or cupboard is ideal for preserving its quality.
