Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Set oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Grease a small baking dish with high sides.
  3. Place each half of squash cut-side up into the baking dish.
  4. Add in about 1/2 inch water into the bottom of the baking dish so that the skins will not burn and the squash won't get dried out.
  5. In a small bowl combine the cinnamon with soft butter.
  6. Coat the inside of each half with 2 teaspoons soft butter, mixture then add in 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to the cavity of each half.
  7. Drizzle 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup over the brown sugar.
  8. Bake uncovered for about 1 hour and 10-15 minutes or until the squash is very soft and the tops are browned.
  9. Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 20-30 minutes (this will allow the brown sugar/butter mixture to thicken slightly).
  10. Using a spoon drizzle the buttery sugar mixture over any exposed area of the baked squash.
  11. Serve and enjoy!
