Kittencal'S Baked Acorn Squash - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 medium acorn squash (halved and seeded)
4 teaspoons soft butter
1 pinch cinnamon (optional)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 -4 teaspoons maple syrup
cinnamon (optional)

Preparation

Set oven to 400 degrees F.
Grease a small baking dish with high sides.
Place each half of squash cut-side up into the baking dish.
Add in about 1/2 inch water into the bottom of the baking dish so that the skins will not burn and the squash won't get dried out.
In a small bowl combine the cinnamon with soft butter.
Coat the inside of each half with 2 teaspoons soft butter, mixture then add in 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to the cavity of each half.
Drizzle 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup over the brown sugar.
Bake uncovered for about 1 hour and 10-15 minutes or until the squash is very soft and the tops are browned.
Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 20-30 minutes (this will allow the brown sugar/butter mixture to thicken slightly).
Using a spoon drizzle the buttery sugar mixture over any exposed area of the baked squash.
Serve and enjoy!
