DIRECTIONS

Conventional oven:

Preheat oven to 350ºF. 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.

Variation for Microwave oven:

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.

Makes 4 servings.
