Ingredients

1 acorn squash (about 1/2 pound)
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon water
1 apple, cored and sliced (optional)

Instructions

1. Wash the squash, then slice it crosswise into 1/4-inch rings. Remove the seeds and pulp. Layer the rings in a casserole dish, top with maple syrup, dust on cinnamon and sprinkle with water. (As an added touch, slices of apple can be placed in layers alternating with the squash rings.)

2. Bake, covered, in a preheated oven at 275 degrees F for about 30 minutes. The timing and temperature are not critical, so this can bake along with other dinner dishes.
