How To Make microwaved squash and apple bake

Step 1

Wash and pierce whole squash. Microwave on high 10-12 minutes, or until squash feels soft to touch and according to the size you use. Let stand about 5 minutes.

Step 2

cut in half, and remove seeds. Place cut side up in a baking dish (size depends on how much you are cooking). If you cook more that 1 squash you will have to vary the amounts of the other ingredients or just to your taste.
Step 3

Fill centers of squash with sliced or diced apples (I dice). Top each with 1/2 of each of the brown sugar and cinnamon. Dot the tops with cut up butter.
Step 4

Cover with plastic wrap and place back in the microwave on high for 6-7 minutes or until the squash and apples feel tender.
Step 5

Let stand 2-3 minutes
