Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cut your acorns in half, take seeds out, and rub either butter or oil all over them.
Place them cut side down on a baking dish and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
In the meantime, make the filling.
Place ground beef, shallots, and garlic in a skillet and cook until the ground beef is cooked through and no longer pink.
Add apples and spinach. Cook an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until apples are tender; set aside.
After your acorns have cooked for 30 minutes, turn the acorns over so they are face up and cook an additional 20 minutes.
Next, pull the acorns out of the oven and stuff the centers with your filling.
Place back in the oven for 15 more minutes, and serve.
