    Great recipe! I only used 1 apple and 2T Splenda brown sugar blend and 1T Land O'Lakes light butter. It knocked the calorie count down but it's still great. I also was in at ime pinch so I microwaved the squash for 4 minutes and then added the apples and microwaved for another 4. Really great! - 9/16/08

    This is terrific! I was in a hurry, so I microwaved the squash for 7 minutes, then baked it in the oven with the apples for 30 minutes. I also added some spice to the apple mixture. If fat and calories weren't an issue I'd double the sugar and butter, but it's really sweet enough as is! - 10/27/09

    I added dates and sunflower seeds ( a nut mix I had at the back of the cupboard) and some nutritional yeast (for extra B-vitamins and buttery flavor) and this recipe was awesome. - 11/8/09

    Awesome! I also added a handfull of craisins to the "stuffing" which added an extra zip of flavor! My son asked when I was going to make this again! - 10/18/08

    I just cooked this tonight. Microwaved the squash 7 minutes per the comments above, and baked with the mixture in them for 40 minutes, and the squash needed all of that. Added 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and a couple tablespoons of finely grated walnuts to the mixture. Diced apples fine. Fabulous! - 2/8/10

    This is a terrific recipe! I did notice that I did not need nearly as much stuffing as the recipe calls for; maybe my squash are small? Anyway, I put the rest of the stuffing in a small pan and baked it alongside of the squash, and it made a delicious apple treat for later. - 1/23/08

    Love this....it is a great dessert. I used real butter and instead of using brown sugar I used splenda. I imagine it would be better with the brown sugar, but I was out. - 11/25/07

    I've never had acorn squash before, but really enjoyed this dish. I made it as my contribution to a dinner party and everyone said it was one of the best acorn squash recipes they'd tasted. It's easy to make and doesn't take too much prep time at all. I can't wait to try it again! - 2/22/10

    This was REALLY yummy. Even my boyfriend who "doesn't eat squash" enjoyed it. I also added some cinnamon to the apple mix and sprinkled it over the squash before baking it the second time. - 9/28/09

    What amazes me is how easy it is! I've worked hours on dishes that have turned out much less tasty, and have been way unhealthier, than this magical recipe! - 1/14/08

    Delicious and easy! I skipped the butter, substituted maple syrup for the sugar, and added raisins and cinnamon/ginger. Very easy and very yummy :) My apples were very large - I only needed a third of one. It's easy to bake the rest on the side as an extra treat. - 11/6/11

    Very good flavor! One apple would have been enough to fill my squash, so I will cut the recipe back next time. - 10/24/11

    I tried this last night and it was wonderful. I used the Splenda brown sugar, but fout that I only save 20 calories by using it. Next time I will use just splenda. - 2/22/11
