Ingredients

cooking spray
1 spaghetti squash
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 pinch ground nutmeg, or to taste
1 pinch ground cinnamon, or to taste
2 apples, peeled and thinly sliced

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet lightly with cooking spray.
2 Heat spaghetti squash in the microwave for 1 minute. Cut in half and scoop out seeds. Place cut-side down on the baking sheet.
3 Bake squash in the preheated oven until softened, about 30 minutes. Flip over with tongs. Place 1 tablespoon butter into each cavity; sprinkle brown sugar inside. Dust squash with nutmeg and cinnamon and fill with sliced apples.
4 Continue baking squash until apple slices are tender, 30 to 40 minutes more.
5 Divide apple slices among serving plates. Scrape squash out of the skin with a fork and drop over apple slices.
