The carnival squash is a sweet winter squash that is a cross between an acorn and dumpling squash. It has a very sweet flavor and almost nutty flavor that is really enhanced when the squash is roasted. This recipe makes a good sweet side dish or perfect desert.

This recipe will pair well with the Lapis Luna Zinfandel. It’s a fairly medium body red to compliment the cinnamon apple flavor as well as the thyme. It features notes of some dark fruits like plums and blackberries with a touch of vanilla and oak in the finish!

Ingredients

2 carnival or acorn squash

2 tablespoons melted butter

4 sprigs fresh thyme

4 Small apples or 2 large, tart

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

4 tsp Reubush Apiary honey

Handful of chopped walnuts

Directions

Heat the oven to 375°. Cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Place on a cookie sheet or in baking dish and brush with a little of the butter and season with a little salt. Place a thyme sprig in each half and bake for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix together the apples, the remaining melted butter, the honey and the cinnamon. Remove the squash from the oven.

Fill each squash with the apple mixture. Put them back in the oven for 15-20 minutes more, or until the squash and the apples are soft and caramelized. Cooking times will vary by squash size. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts before serving.
