BAKED ACORN SQUASH RINGS
1 acorn squash (about 1/2 pound)
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon water
1 apple, cored and sliced (optional)
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.) Bake, covered, in a preheated
oven at 275 degrees for about 30 minutes. The timing and
temperature are not critical, so this can bake along with other
dinner dishes.
