I love to fix acorn squash this way. It's pretty and impressive to serve, a tasty combination of fruit and vegetable and my favorite side dish when I make meat loaf. My husband, who was a "meat and potatoes" man when we were married, requests this dish often.

This is a very good basic recipe that I would use as a starting point for making a dish of my own. Since this is a winter squash, virtually any other winter squash could be substituted for it, though some, like the Hubbard Squash, would probably require a bit of creativity in how you serve it.I'd consider making this with a long-neck Butternut squash, and just use the neck portion. With the maple syrup in use, I'd use walnuts instead of almonds. I'd consider using shredded carrot and parsnip instead of the apples, and use crystalized ginger, nutmeg, and mace instead of the spices.If you're sold on the rings, though, and you have to serve a lot of people, consider using a small to medium sized Banana squash. These kind of look like a stretched out football, and have a long hollow cavity, so with a small one that might be 15-18 inches long, you could serve 30 people. (the larger banana squash are a good 3 ft long, and are used commercially as canned pumpkin)
