Ingredients

  • 2 acorn squashes cut into 4 pieces each, seeds removed (see note at end of recipe)
  • 2 large Granny Smith apples peeled, cored, and diced
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Use a 6-quart slow cooker.
  • Place the acorn squash wedges into the bottom of the slow cooker. It’s okay if they overlap a bit. Do not add water.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the apples, brown sugar, butter, pecans, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Scoop this mixture into the squash wedges as evenly as you can.
  • Cover and cook on low for 5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. The squash is finished when the flesh is fork-tender and the skin has begun to pucker.
