Love Acorn Squash. Have made my version of this for many years but only used brown sugar , so will try it with Maple syrup added. I salt and pepper the  squash cavity; pack with brown sugar and lay a couple of slices of bacon on top, end to end and bake/roast. The candied bacon alone is a REAL treat  but the added flavor of bacon drippings in the melted brown sugar is a bonus!

This was great, and so easy! I added somw walnuts into the cavity after pouring in the saue. My daughter is looking forward to having this again!

I am eating this now! There are only two of us and we eat small portions, so I halved this. It is so good! The remaing maple syrup-brown Sugar mixture, I poured over a ham steak. Thank you for a delicious supper!

Love this , i grate an apple  and add  along  with a pat of butter in eaxh half.  Yum!

Nothing fancy but packs great flavor. If you are tired of dressing up acorn squash this is by far the easiest and tastiest!

Excellent!  I scooped out the squash andmashed it up because my kids wouldn't eat it like presented.  I also sprinkled some nutmeg on and some chopped walnuts.  Yummy!

This was the first time we had Acorn Squash, but it wont be the last. It was delicious.

Will probably use less sugar next time, but these were good.

I used Elaine D's idea and grated some apple into the center for the last 15 minutes or so.  It was really good!

My very picky eaters finally will eat squash!!!

Had this for supper.  Enjoyed.  Used real maple syrup so I think it was a little sweet.  Next time I make this I will take a fork and prick the squash so the glaze has a chance to penetrate the squash.

We love winter squash and are always looking for new ways to make it. This was as delicious as it was easy. It was a little on the sweet side, so next time I will omit the brown sugar, and just use the maple syrup. VFE

These were pretty good. They weren't spectacular but they were good. We used more than one acorn squash and then cut them up into pieces when we were done so that a lot of people could enjoy them.

Unfortunately, this was not a recipe that we will make again. The squash was nicely sweet but quite dry, even after adding extra butter. Maybe our squash was a little old?

Very good... I also added about 2 Tablespoons melted butter.

Used butternut squash and cooked in microwave for 20 min, then oven for glaze. very good!

I have never had acorn squash before because I do not like vegetables.  I am trying to eat more veggies.  I had my daughter (picky eater) help make this and we both liked it.

Delicious and easy way to enjoy acorn squash!  I've always basted mine with butter and honey, so was looking forward to using maple syrup and brown sugar.  It did not disappoint!  I didn't bake mine cut side down ~ I just put them in a casserole dish cut side up, added a little water to the dish, poured the glaze in the center of each squash half and baked them like that, basting occasionally.  I did double the glaze and they came out perfect.  Great fall dish!
