Ingredients

    2 Small to Medium Acorn Squashes
    2 Cups Apple Juice
    1 tsp Ginger, ground
    1/4 tsp Cinnamon, ground
    1/8 tsp Kosher Salt

Directions

Preheat Oven to 400 Degrees Fahrenheit.

Pierce squash skin several times with a small knife or fork. Cut Squash in Half. Remove seeds. The skin will soften when you cook the squash and can be eaten.

Combine juice, spices, and salt and place the liquid in a large (9"X13") baking dish.

Place the four halves face down in the dish and place in the preheated oven. Cook for 1 hour face down. Then for 15 minutes place the squash face up to caramelize the tops and add some nice gooey texture to the tops.
