  • Total Time: 1 hr 30 mins
  • Servings: 6
  • Yield: 6 stuffed squash halves

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place squash halves onto a baking sheet, cut-sides down. Fill the baking sheet with 1/2 inch of water.
  • Bake squash in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Drain off any water remaining in the baking sheet.

  • Once squash is done, stir raisins, brown sugar, cinnamon, and Cheddar cheese into the apple mixture. Turn squash cut-sides up on the baking sheet and fill with the apple mixture.
  • Return squash to the oven; bake until the filling is hot and cheese has melted, about 15 minutes.
