Preparation
STEP 1
Preheat oven to 375°F.
STEP 2
In a large sauté pan over medium heat cook sausage and onions until browned and caramelized. About 10 minutes. Add apples and cook an additional 2 minutes.
STEP 3
Transfer mixture into a large bowl with chopped pecans and crushed croutons. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and cranberry sauce until combined. Add to sausage mixture and stir to coat everything. Add 2 cups of cheese and mix to combine.
STEP 4
Slice squash in half lengthwise and scrape out seeds. Divide stuffing mixture between squash halves, packing it in. Place on a sheet pan, loosely cover with foil and bake for 1 hour.
STEP 5
Remove from oven and carefully sprinkle remaining cheese over each squash. Return to oven and bake for 10 minutes more.
