I remember as a kid, my mom would make these stuffed squash things during the fall. She would halve the squash, scoop out the seeds and fill the middle with stuffing. It was a delightful dish. We would eat them for dinner or sometimes as a side to a roasted turkey or chicken meal. I liked seeing how she prepared these squash and how they turned out because they looked more like centerpieces than they did food. Mom was such a fun and talented cook.
This recipe is made with acorn squash, apples, and some other fall-inspired spices. Unlike my mom’s recipe, these squashes will be cooked in the slow cooker. Mom always popped hers in the oven. Nope, not today! We are going to use or trusty crock Pot. Woohoo!
