Stuffed Acorn Squash with Apple, Bacon & Pine NutsStuffed Acorn Squash with Apple, Bacon & Pine Nuts — a 45-minute dinner recipe with 11 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

3 acorn squash

12 slices bacon

3 Gala apples

1 cup pine nuts

1 ½ medium yellow onions

black pepper

extra virgin olive oil

pure maple syrup

sage, dried

salt

thyme, dried

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 230°C (450°F) and place the rack in the center position.

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Cut squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds; discard. Slice a small piece off the bottom of each squash half just enough so that they will sit level.

Drizzle cut-side with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Flip squash halves, scooped sides down, on a baking sheet pan. Bake until golden and fork-tender, 30-35 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat a nonstick skillet to medium-high heat. Chop bacon into ¼-inch pieces and cook until almost crispy. Drain most of the fat.

Peel and dice onions. Add to pan, stirring to combine. Sprinkle with thyme and sage. Cook together until onion is soft and caramelized.

Core, peel, and medium dice the apples. Add to pan, drizzle with maple syrup and salt. Cook 2-3 minutes until apple just starts to soften.

Add pine nuts and cook for 1 minute.

Remove the squash from the oven. Stuff each half with the bacon mixture.

To serve, divide squash halves between plates. Enjoy!
