Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2
Cut butternut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Brush insides with melted coconut oil and bake face down for about 40 minutes.
- Step 3
Meanwhile, add ground sausage and chopped bacon to a skillet over medium heat. Cook until bacon is crispy and sausage is brown and crumbly. Remove bacon and sausage from skillet and set aside. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of the cooking grease.
- Step 4
Add diced apple and chopped onion to the skillet over low medium heat. Cook for 10 minutes, until apples and onions are soft.
- Step 5
Add sausage and bacon back to the pan. Add chopped spinach and cook for 2 minutes, until slightly wilted.
- Step 6
When butternut squash is done, carefully remove from oven. Using a spoon, scoop out some of the flesh. Leave about 1 inch of flesh around the edges of the squash, creating a well for the stuffing.

Lastly, stuff with sausage mixture and serve!
