Acorn Squash Bake

Another favorite recipe that was acquired from Recipe Club. Thank you Darlene. We love this.

2 Acorn Squash
20 Ritz type crackers, crushed
1/2 c chopped pecans (I love these, but sometimes omit them for Hayden's sake)
1/4 c. melted butter
1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice (I sometimes make my own mix from ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves)
   Cut and clean squash well. Combine remaining ingredients.  Divide between squash halves. Bake 350* 1 hour in pan with 1 inch of water in it.
