Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 1 spaghetti squash
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg, or to taste
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon, or to taste
- 2 apples, peeled and thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet lightly with cooking spray.
- Heat spaghetti squash in the microwave for 1 minute. Cut in half and scoop out seeds. Place cut-side down on the baking sheet.
- Bake squash in the preheated oven until softened, about 30 minutes. Flip over with tongs. Place 1 tablespoon butter into each cavity; sprinkle brown sugar inside. Dust squash with nutmeg and cinnamon and fill with sliced apples.
- Continue baking squash until apple slices are tender, 30 to 40 minutes more.
- Divide apple slices among serving plates. Scrape squash out of the skin with a fork and drop over apple slices.
- To prevent the apples from browning, slice them about 25 minutes after putting the squash in the oven.

Reviews
All in all a pretty good recipe. I used it as a dessert, it’s almost a healthy alternative to most apple desserts. Very quick and easy to prepare as well, though cooking time is a fair amount.
