1 tablespoon butter


1 teaspoon cinnamon


 


1 tablespoon brown sugar

Preheat oven to 400 ˚F.


Using a sharp chef’s knife, cut off top of pumpkin (like you would do if carving a pumpkin).

Add diced apple and butter divided into small pats inside the pumpkin.


Roast whole for 40 minutes.

You could also add raisins, dried cranberries, and pecans or walnuts.
