Ingredients
- 2 medium acorn squash
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces ground pork sausage
- ½ small onion (finely diced)
- 1 small granny smith apple (peeled and diced )
- 2 slices wheat bread (cubed )
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup dried cranberries
- ¼ teaspoon ground sage
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Steps
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
-
Cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds and discard.
-
Brush the squash with olive oil and season with salt & pepper.
-
Place the squash on a baking pan cut side down and bake for 40 minutes or until very tender. Larger squash may need more time.
-
While the squash is baking, brown the sausage and onion in a skillet until no pink remains. Drain fat. Add the apple and cook 2-3 minutes more or just until the apple begins to soften.
-
Place the sausage mixture in a bowl and cool slightly. Stir in the bread, egg, cranberries, sage, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
-
Flip the squash over, scoop the filling into the cavity and bake an additional 10-15 minutes or until the squash is tender. If the filling starts to brown too much, lightly cover with foil.
