Every fall, when acorn squash would come in season, my mom would splurge and buy enough for the whole family to make her Acorn Squash Dessert. I haven't had this dish in years, so when I saw some of these at the store the other day, I decided to pick one up and see if I could make it as well as she does. I think it came out pretty well. And yes, it tastes as yummy as it looks.

Recipe:

Heat oven to 375.
Take one acorn squash and cut in half length way.
Spoon out the seeds (I think these may be bake-able, like pumpkin seeds, but I didn't try).
Place the 2 halves face down in a baking pan. Add 1/4" water to baking pan.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Turn halves over, fill holes with brown sugar and melted butter, sprinkle top with cinnamon.
Bake for another 30 minutes until tender.
Yum!
