I found that cooking the acorn squash and scooping the insides out after it is done works better. I tried the recipe as is and there was not enough room for the stuffing. I then scooped out the insides and mixed them with the sausage and apples and put that back into the shells. Much easier to eat and it tasted great! We did add some butter to it also.
I made this for supper tonight. I made some very minor changes. I used butter instead of olive oil and drizzled the squash with real maple syrup before baking. The sweet buttery goodness really complimented the mellow squash and the sausage filling. Definitely a keeper!
I'm making this tonight, but I think I'm going to add a handful of Craisins into the stuffing too.
This was delicious! I made mine with hot Italian turkey sausage, nice contrast to the sweet squash and apples. Definitely one for the fall meal line up.
