Stuffed acorn squash recipe for the grill, with peanuts, apples, and brown sugar.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 medium acorn squash
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • pepper
  • 3 cups unpeeled diced apples
  • 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

PREPARATION:

Halve squash lengthwise; remove seeds and membranes. Brush inside and outside edge of squash with melted butter, using about 2 tablespoons of butter. Sprinkle each squash with salt and pepper. Place squash cut side down on a greased baking pan. Bake at 350° until almost tender, about 40 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine apples, brown sugar, peanuts, nutmeg, and remaining butter. Loosely fill the squash cavities with apple mixture. Grill squash on a preheated grill, apple side up, about 5 inches above the coals until squash is tender and apples are heated through, about 20 minutes.
