Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Pork Breakfast Sausage
  • 1 Acorn Squash
  • 1 Apple I like using Honey Crisp or Granny Apple
  • 1 pint Unsweetened Apple Sauce
  • A handful of chopped Pecans
  • Parmesan Cheese

Instructions
 

  • Slice the acorn squash in half. Add salt and pepper, to your liking, and add a drizzle of oil. Place the squash halves on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven on 350 degrees for 1 hour.
  • Grab your iron skillet and cook the sausage on medium heat. Once it’s no longer pink then it’s done.
  • Chop the apple into small pieces and add to the sausage. Next, pour the appplesauce into the skillet. Stir together and allow the apples to cook until soft. Cook on low heat.
  • Once the apples are all cooked, add the chopped pecans and stir everything together. When the acorn squash is finished cooking, scoop the sausage filling into each half.
  • Top with shredded Parmesan cheese and place back in the oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
