While squashes are baking, prepare the stuffing:
In a skillet melt the butter and sauté apples and onion for 10 minutes till very tender. In a large bowl combine apples and onion with raisins, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cheese. Place cooked squashes on a cookie sheet and divide apple stuffing evenly among cavities.

Bake at 350 degrees F. for 20 minutes or until apples are soft and cheese is melted.
