Ingredients

2.0
2 each acorn squash 1.0
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice 1.0
1 pinch ground cinnamon 1.0
1 tsp packed dark brown sugar 1.0
1 pinch ground nutmeg

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Prick the squash skin with a fork and place in the microwave on high for about 3 minutes. Remove from the microwave and let cool for a few minutes. Cut the squashes in half and place the cut sides down in a baking dish for about 40 minutes. Check for doneness by piercing with a fork; there should be little resistance.
Scoop the squash flesh from the skin into a bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork, or use a food mill.
Add the lemon juice and stir well. Add the cinnamon, brown sugar, and nutmeg, to taste.
