Acorn Squash with Spiced Applesauce

Squash is one of my favourite vegetables and this is a nice variation.

1 acorn squash, seeded and cut into 6 wedges
2 tsp olive oil
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup unsweetened chunky applesauce
2 tsp butter
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp maple syrup

• Heat oven to 375F.  Brush squash with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Place on a jelly roll pan lined with aluminium foil.  Bake about 20 minutes, until squash is fork tender and slightly browned.
• In a small saucepan, heat the applesauce.  Stir in butter and cinnamon, cook 1 minute more.  
• Serve squash with a dollop of applesauce and a drizzle of syrup.
