APPLE AND SAUSAGE STUFFED ACORN SQUASH

Apple and Sausage Stuffed Acorn Squash image

When I think of fall, I think of squash. And although I came up with this recipe in the middle of summer, it's definitely a keeper! Definitely will be making this again. Would be a great side dish for Thanksgiving. Drizzle with maple syrup and enjoy!
