Ingredients

  • 1 acorn squash (1 to 1 1/2 lb)
  • 1 large apple, cut into 4 wedges, cored
  • 1 package (11 to 12 oz) fully cooked pork sausage links
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup maple-flavored syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Heat oven to 425°F. Wash squash; pierce several times with fork. Place squash on microwavable paper towel in microwave oven. Microwave on High 3 minutes. Let stand in microwave oven about 5 minutes.
  • Step 
    2
    Meanwhile, cut four 18x18-inch sheets of heavy-duty foil.
  • Step 
    3
    Remove squash from microwave. Cut in half; scoop out and discard seeds. Cut each half into 2 wedges. Place 1 squash wedge in center of each sheet of foil. Top each with 1 apple wedge and about 3 pork sausage links.
  • Step 
    4
    Bring up foil around squash wedges, forming bowl shape. Pour 1 tablespoon water around each squash; pour 2 tablespoons syrup over each sausage-apple-squash combination. Sprinkle 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon over each. Bring corners and sides of foil together; press tightly above sausage to seal.
  • Step 
    5
    Place foil packets, seam side up, in oven; bake 35 to 40 minutes or until squash and apple are tender. Open packets carefully to allow steam to escape. Spoon hot syrup in packets over sausage, apple and squash.
