Steps:
- To easily peel the acorn squash without losing a lot of vegetable, gently drop the squash in a large pot of boiling water, and boil for 15 minutes. Pour off the boiling water and fill with cold water and let sit 5 minutes to cool. When cool enough to handle, use a knife to slice off the peel on the ridges and use a teaspoon to dig out the peel in the valleys. Slice the squash in half and remove the seeds and stem. Then slice the halves into sections and finally cut into 1 inch chunks.
- Place the squash chunks into a large microwave-safe bowl along with the apples. Dot with pieces of butter. Sprinkle the brown sugar, walnuts, salt and cinnamon over the top. Cover with plastic wrap, and poke a few holes in it for ventilation.
- Cook in the microwave for 7 1/2 minutes on full power. Remove, uncover, and stir. Return to the microwave, and cook for another 7 1/2 minutes on full power, until tender. Serve hot.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the squash onto a baking sheet cut side down. Fill the baking sheet with 1/2 inch of water.
- Bake the squash in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Drain off any water remaining in the baking sheet.
- While the squash is baking, melt the margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion and apple in the margarine until the onion has softened and turned translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Scrape the mixture into a bowl to cool until the squash has finished baking.
- Once the squash is done, stir the raisins, brown sugar, cinnamon, and Cheddar cheese into the apple mixture. Turn the squash cut side up on the baking sheet and fill with the apple mixture. Return the squash to the oven; bake until the filling is hot and the cheese has melted, about 15 minutes.

SPICED SQUASH AND APPLE SOUP
In preparing for the fall/winter holidays I came across this soup. I was looking for something that could be made ahead and served for a family get-together. Since it has no cream, this recipe looks like it would reheat easily. The original recipe is by Joyce Goldstein and the ingredients were doubled for a large gathering.

Steps:
- Melt the butter and olive oil in a soup pot over moderate heat.
- Add the diced onions and apples and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the spices, cook for one minute.
- Add the squash and chicken stock, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, uncovered, until the squash is very tender, about 20-30 minutes.
- In a blender or food processor, puree the vegetables in batches with a little bit of the stock.
- Transfer puree mixture into a large bowl.
- Stir in enough of the remaining stock to make a medium-thick soup.
- Reserve any leftover stock if not serving right away, as the soup may thicken on standing. This is rich broth so if you have any left just add it to your favorite homemade soup or freeze for another use.
- Season with salt and pepper and adjust the spices.
- This soup may be made a day ahead, refrigerated uncovered until cold and then covered to store.
- To serve, in a large pot heat the soup almost to scalding.
- Ladle into bowls and top with thin slices of apple.
