This recipe is the perfect cozy recipe for autumn (or anytime!).
- 2 medium acorn squash, cut in 1/2 lengthwise and seeds removed
- 1 lb Stoltzfus Meats cranberry apple chicken grillers (approx 4 grillers), casings removed
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small-medium apple, peeled & chopped
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp fresh sage leaves, minced
- 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
- Brush the cut sides of your acorn squash with olive oil then sprinkle with salt. Place the squash flesh side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes or until tender.
- While the squash bakes, heat a large skillet over medium heat, add a Tbsp of olive oil, and cook through the sausage, crumbling with a wooden spoon. Transfer to a plate, but leave the cooking fat in the skillet.
- Using the same skillet with the fat, add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir for 1 minute before adding in the apples, herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 5 minutes until the apples have slightly softened.
- Add in the cranberries and cooked sausage to skillet. Stir to combine and turn off heat.
- Once the squash are out of the oven, flip them skin side down and stuff with the filling. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Broil for 3-5 minutes until cheese melts. Allow to cool for a few minutes and serve!
