Acorn Squash Rings with Cranberries & Apples

1 acorn squash
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup cranberries
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup apple, finely diced
2 tsp. cornstarch
3 tsp. cold water

Cut squash into 1/4" rings with a sharp knife (do not peel).  Remove the seeds and discard them.  Place squash rings in a shallow casserole dish and set aside.

In a small saucepan, place olive oil, cranberries, and brown sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until the skins have popped.  Stir in apple.

Mix cornstarch and cold water together until well mixed.  Pour cornstarch mixture into cranberry and apple mixture.  Then spoon a portion of this mixture into the center of each squash ring.

Place in 350 degree oven and bake until squash is tender (about 40 minutes).
