Stuffed butternut squash is one of my favorite dinner ideas for enjoying the best fall flavors. Tender, roasted butternut squash halves are filled to the brim with a hearty and flavorful mix of sweet Italian sausage, crisp apples, dried cranberries, pecans, and a medley of veggies and herbs.
I love seasonal butternut squash recipes like my butternut squash soup, but when I’m in the mood for something a bit heartier, this apple sausage stuffed butternut squash is my go-to. And it's perfect for both Thanksgiving and Friendsgiving dinner!
