Recommended Apple Varieties: 

Empire, Gala, Ida Red, Jonagold, Jonathan, or McIntosh.

INGREDIENTS:
  • 3 squash (Delicata or Buttercup)
  • Butter, melted
  • 5 oz. brown sugar
  • 2 ½ tsp. kosher salt
  • 2 oz. sherry
  • 6 Michigan Apples

 SERVING SIZE:

3

INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. Wash and cut squash in half lengthwise. Scrape out seeds.
  2. Brush surface and cavity with melted butter. Place close together, cut side down on baking sheet. (This helps squash cook faster without drying by retaining steam.)
  3. Bake at 350 degrees until almost tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
  4. Turn cut side up and brush again with butter.
  5. Sprinkle cavities with sugar, salt, sherry and sliced apples.
  6. Bake 10-15 minutes more, until surface is glazed.
