Apple Stuffed Acorn Squash Microwave Style

---

Only 7 ingredients and made in the microwave, so you can throw this together in a jiffy. great comfort food for the fall and winter months. tart, sweet and good for you too. perfect for those on a low sodium diet. note: i have made the celery optional and i agree it is better without. i also use way more butter and cinnamon than what the recipe calls for :)
