With the fall here and holiday meals just around the corner this Cranberry Apple Stuffed Acorn Squash Recipe will be perfect to serve up to your family and guests. Acorn squash is one of my absolute favorite sides…especially during the holidays. I was chatting with my mother online yesterday and told her I was making up this yummy acorn squash with apples and cranberries.  She immediately lol’ed me, ha ha! I was curious as to why she was lol’ing. Well turns out she had acorn squash in the oven too! When growing up she would make acorn squash as soon as fall arrived.  Maybe that is why I was craving squash yesterday. Fall is in the air.

Before we married Mike never was a fan of acorn squash. That changed as soon as we had our first fall together. We have made some sort of stuffed or plain acorn squash every year since.

Apples and cranberries together is just perfect. Add them to acorn squash and you have an absolutely delish dish. I highly recommend this dish if you are ready for some great fall flavors or looking for a great holiday side dish.
