Ingredients

  • 1 large acorn squash, de-seeded and cut in half
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • 3 small apples, diced
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup apple cider

Directions

  1. Begin by placing the acorn squash halves in your rice cooker, cut side up.
  2. Fill the center of each squash half with butter, brown sugar, dried cranberries, diced apples, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
  3. Carefully pour the apple cider into the rice cooker around the squash halves.
  4. Close the lid of the rice cooker and set it to the SLOW COOK mode on high. Allow the squash to cook for about 3 hours, until it is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  5. Once the acorn squash is fully cooked and tender, carefully remove it from the rice cooker.
  6. Serve the cooked acorn squash hot, with the flavorful mixture of butter, brown sugar, cranberries, apples, and cinnamon nestled inside each half.
