Acorn Squash & Apple Soup

Cook whole squash in microwave for 8-10 minutes or until you can stab it with a fork easily. Allow the squash to slightly cool so it is safe to handle. Cut in half, scoop out the seeds and discard. Scoop out the flesh and transfer to a medium saucepan. Add apples, spices and 1 cup water, stirring to mix completely. Bring to a boil over high heat then reduce to low and simmer until apple pieces are very tender, about 15-20 minutes. Transfer to a blender, add non-dairy milk and puree until smooth and creamy. Tastm adding syrup as desired and blend again.
