Ingredients:
2 medium acorn squash
Olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup Ocean Spray® Fresh or Frozen Cranberries, chopped
1 cup 1/4-inch cubes apple
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
Directions:
Conventional oven:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut squash into quarters; remove seeds. Place squash, cut side up in a greased baking pan. Lightly brush each wedge with olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
In a medium bowl, mix together remaining ingredients. Spoon cranberry-apple mixture into squash, dividing evenly among wedges. Return to oven and bake, covered, an additional 15-20 minutes or until apples and squash are tender.

Cut squash into quarters; remove seeds. Place cut side up in microwaveable dish. Lightly brush with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon cranberry mixture into squash. Cover with microwave-safe plastic wrap. Cook on HIGH for 10-15 minutes or until squash is tender. Let stand for 5 minutes.*
*For smaller microwave ovens, cook 4 squash quarters at a time for 8 to 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining squash.
