Apple-Cranberry Stuffed Squash
This savory recipe is a treat for the eyes and stomach. Easy to find and
affordable throughout the winter months, acorn squash are the star—and
serving dish—for this 9-ingredient dish. If you have access to fresh cranberries,
they add a slightly brighter taste to the dish but be sure to up the quantity to 2
cups for the full effect.
