Stuffed Pumpkin

For Halloween pot-luck at the office, I decided to bake a stuffed pumpkin. It's simple and delicious.

Ingredients:

• 1 medium pie pumpkin – cut off the top of the pumpkin and remove the seeds and strings.

• 4 baking apples - cored and chopped (no need to peel)

• 1 cup pecan halves

• 1 cup craisins

• 1 cup brown sugar

• 2 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

• 2 teaspoon vanilla

• 2 tablespoon butter, melted

 Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325F.

2. Mix all ingredients and fill the pumpkin with the apple mixture.

3. Bake the pumpkin in a shallow baking dish with the pumpkin top beside it for approx. 1.5 hours, or until the pumpkin and apples are soft.

4. You can either serve it warm or room temperature.
