until tender when tested with a fork.
Meanwhile, coat a non-stick skillet with cooking spray; over medium heat
saute onion and celery until tender. Add salt, pepper, allspice, apple and
1 Tablespoon apple juice; cook just until apple is tender.
Stir in cranberries, raisins, and 1 Tablespoon apple juice; cook until
cranberries pop. Add brown sugar; stir until dissolved. Stir in bread
cubes and nuts. If desired, a few drops of almond extract may be added.
Sprinkle baked squash with salt (optional) and pepper. Divide stuffing
evenly between the halves. Bake for 15 minutes at 375=B0F.
