I've been a housewife for the past 10 years, and I've learned a thing or two about cooking. One of my favorite things to make is acorn squash with cranberry apple stuffing. It's a delicious and easy recipe that's perfect for a fall dinner.

The first step is to cut the squash in half and remove the pulp and seeds. Then, place the squash cut-side down in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Pour ¼-inch of boiling water into the baking dish and place it in the oven. Bake the squash for 30 minutes at 350°.

While the squash is baking, you can make the stuffing. In a large bowl, combine apples, cranberries, cinnamon, and oil. Once the squash is done baking, remove it from the oven and turn the halves over. Stuff the center of each squash half with the apple mixture. Return the squash to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes (or longer) until the squash and apples are tender.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover squash, and it's also a delicious and healthy side dish. The cranberries and apples add a tart and sweet flavor to the squash, and the cinnamon gives it a warm and inviting aroma. If you're looking for a delicious and easy fall recipe, this acorn squash with cranberry apple stuffing is a great option.
