Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Meanwhile, wash squash and cut it length wise down the center; remove seeds. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place squash havles face side down on the baking sheet and pour a 1/2 cup of water in the pan. Place squash in preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Remove squash from oven and turn so they are facing upwards. Fill centers with 1 tablespoon butter, a sprinkle of brown sugar and sprinkle of cinnamon; allow time to melt. So yummy!
