Made it according to a culmination of the suggestions. Used butter, brown sugar, variety of spices. Pierced the acorn flesh and then spread the mixture around the inside. Put apples inside and dumped rest of mixture over that. Cooked covered and filled the bottom with some water to not dry out. The squash flavor came out in the apples which was really yummy, but the squash itself was not for me. It was very tender and palatable, but it was also stringy and a strong flavor. Agree with other reviewers that it would taste better with a different type of squash, or perhaps mine just wasn't at the perfect ripeness. Three stars because I had to make a lot of changes to make it taste good.

Very good. I took note of the prior reviews regarding the squash drying out and solved that be brushing the exposed flesh of the squash with melted butter about half way through the baking time and then covering the pan I was using with foil. Only other changes were to substitute a little Splenda for the honey, and added some dried fruit (raisins & craisins) and chopped pecans into the chopped apple stuffing. I'm picking up another squash to do this again tomorrow

Baked squash in microwave 8 minutes with apples, then 8 minutes more with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. So simple and delicious!

this was a really nice way to make acorn squash. My kids and husband said it reminded them of fall. The squash it self was a little dry next time I may add some butter/honey mix directly on the squash then put the apple filling on. Otherwise it was delicious.

I would like to give more stars, because the recipe itself is fine, but the acorn squash was just too strong-tasting. I had a couple of squashes to use and served this at Thanksgiving dinner, but although the stuffing itself was delicious, it didn't do enough to counteract the taste of the acorn squash -- would have been better with a more delicately flavoured variety.

This was pretty good and certainly easy to make. I think I would have liked it better with maple syrup or brouwn sugar instead of honey. Thanks!

A beautiful dish that is quick and easy to throw in the oven. The presentation is wonderful with some walnuts and raisins as well. The squash came out a bit dry, but that might have been my mistake.

This was great. I added some raisins to the apples. I had a difficult time cutting into the squash, so I cooked the whole thing at 400 for about 15 minutes to soften it before cutting it in half.

My family did not care for this too much. I usually prepare acorn squash with cinnamon, butter, and brown sugar. We thought this had very little flavor.

I love the taste. The squash isn't as syrupy and sweet as many recipes. This is probably the best acorn squash I've made. However, I would suggest maybe adding some water to the pan when you bake the squash because it took forever for the squash to get tender.

Loved it! I used a non-hydrogentaed butter substitute, Gala apples - they were small, so it took three to fill both halves of the squash - and probably doubled the cinnamon. The honey added a rich sweetness, a nice change from the brown sugar or maple syrup I usually use with baked squash. I baked at 350, as I had something else in the oven, but I think it took about the same amount of time anyway. Looking forward to making this one again and again! Thanks for sharing!

Such a tasty and nutritious way to fix acorn squash. I use any apple I usually have on hand and I don't bother peeling because the skin is supposed to be good for you, right? When baking, make sure you cover with foil otherwise it will come out too dry. Then when you add in the butter and honey, just cube the butter and drop them on top and in between the apples. Makes it easier!

I have been married for over 40 years and never made Acorn Squash before. My husband was very pleasantly surprised with this side dish. He really enjoyed it and so did I. I modified the recipe by using a heart healthy butter substitute. I also cut the cooking time by microwaving for 10 minutes on high instead of baking for 30 minutes. I used a covered Corning Ware pan and then just continued with the original recipe.
