  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Diet: Gluten Free

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bacon strips, chopped
  • 1 small apple, peeled, cored and chopped
  • 1/2 cup raw cranberries
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup bone broth
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 2 small acorn squashes, cut in half with seeds scooped out and discarded

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
  2. In large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon for about 5 minutes or until crispy. Remove bacon pieces with a slotted spoon, leaving fat behind.
  3. Add apples, cranberries and raisins to pan and cook, stirring frequently, until fruit has begun to soften (about 3 minutes).
  4. Add broth and maple syrup or honey, if using, and cook until cranberries have all popped and a thick sauce has formed (about 8-10 minutes).
  5. Place squash halves in an ovenproof baking dish and spoon fruit mixture into the squash cavities, dividing evenly. Top with cooked bacon.
  6. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until squash is tender.
