SWEET ACORN SQUASH WITH APPLES AND CRAISINS (CROCK POT)

Sweet Acorn Squash With Apples and Craisins (Crock Pot) image

I was on the search for a crock pot method for acorn squash and wasn't happy with what I found. . .so I took a little from each recipe and created my own. The results were outstanding. If you have any leftovers, simply scoop out the pulp, apples, craisins and mix with juices in crock pot, mash slightly and freeze for a side dish at a later date! This recipe is quite forgiving, so don't worry about measuring everything out exactly. In our house, we eat this as a main course with a small salad on the side.

Time 4h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1/2 cup apple juice (may use cider)
1 large acorn squash, quartered
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons butter (may sub vegan margarine)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1 1/2 cups diced apples (I used Honey Crisp which are sweet and tart)
1/4 lemon, juice of
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons maple syrup
3 tablespoons walnuts

Steps:

Turn crockpot to HIGH to get it warm while you fill it up.
Pour apple juice in bottom of crockpot.
Place squash, cut side up, in bottom of crockpot.
On top of each piece of squash, sprinkle with salt, followed by 1/2 T butter, 1/2 T brown sugar, and 1 T dried cranberries.
Sprinkle apples in and around the squash (about 1/4 cup will fit piled up on each squash).
Juice lemon over the top of the apples, then sprinkle with the cinnamon and pour the maple syrup over the top.
Cook the squash on LOW for 4-6 hours or HIGH for 2.5-4 hours. NOTE: crockpots are not created equal as far as temp goes and we will all buy different sized squash. . .that being said, cook times will vary. . .I don't mind eating mushy squash, but you can't eat undercooked squash simply because you can't cut it :) I cooked mine on low for 4 hours and it wasn't done so I cranked it up to high for 1 hour and it was perfectly cooked.
When squash it tender, place each piece on a plate and sprinkle with the nuts.
OPTIONAL: I am bad, so therefore I put another 2T of cold butter in with the apple juice and remaining apples on the bottom of the crockpot and stir til the butter is melted and then spoon the "sauce" over the top of the squash. If you like yours really sweet (as I do), feel free to drizzle it with more maple syrup or honey.

Thoroughly wash the squash and use a sturdy, sharp knife to cut them in half, lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and strings. Cut each piece in half again. Place the pieces cut side down (peel side up) in a large baking dish and add about 1" of water. Cover with foil and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the squash pierces easily with a sharp knife.
Remove from oven and increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Drain off most of the water from the baking pan, leaving just a small amount. Flip the pieces of squash over. Season each piece with a small amount of salt and drizzle with melted butter. Sprinkle with brown sugar and just a dusting of cinnamon. Return to oven and allow to roast, cut side up, uncovered, for an additional 15 minutes.
If you'd like a more caramelized surface, set your oven BROIL for a minute or two at the end of the cooking time. Watch closely so it does not burn.
