Step 1

First, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

Carefully slice stems and about ¼ inch off the bottoms of both squash. This allows the squash to stand on its own without rolling around. Then, slice acorn squash down the middle. Use a spoon to scoop out seeds.

Step 3

Brush 1 tablespoon olive oil all over insides and edges of squash. Place face down on parchment lined pan.

Step 4

Roast for 30 minutes or until insides of squash are fork tender.

Step 5

While squash is roasting, add ground sausage to large skillet over low medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes, until browned and crumbly. Drain off any excess grease.

Step 6

Then, add olive oil, diced onion, diced apple, garlic powder, oregano, onion powder and nutmeg to the skillet. Cook on low for 10 minutes or until apples and onion are softened.

Step 7

Next, add chopped spinach to skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until wilted. Turn off heat.

Step 8

When squash is done roasting, remove from oven. Flip squash over and stuff with ground sausage mixture. Serve!
