Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit (200 degrees celsius).
- Slice the butternut squash in half with a very sharp knife. You can also cut the ends off and microwave for 2 minutes, to make it easier to slice in half lengthwise.
- Scoop the seeds out of the butternut squash with a spoon.
- Lightly oil the butternut squash and season with salt and pepper.
- Lay the butternut squash, cut side down on a baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes.
- While the butternut squash is cooking, add the sausage to a saute pan on medium heat. Use a spatula to break up the sausage and cook until it's just browned.
- Add the onions, garlic and baby spinach to the pan and stir for 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted.
- Add the apple, sage and rosemary and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the apple has softened slightly.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the cranberries and pecans.
- When the butternut squash halves are cooked through, remove them from the oven, flip them over and remove some of the flesh (but leave plenty to enjoy!) to make room for the filling. Save this removed flesh and turn it into mashed butternut squash to enjoy later!
- Fill the butternut squash with the apple sausage filling.
- Turn the top broiler on the oven and bake the filled butternut squash for 5 minutes, or until they're golden on top. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your dressing will taste. Look for fresh, crisp apples and butternut squash, and use a good quality sausage.
- Don't overcook the sausage: Overcooked sausage will be tough and dry. Cook it until it is just cooked through, but still slightly pink in the center.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices: Herbs and spices add flavor and depth to the dressing. Use a combination of fresh and dried herbs, and don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations.
- Bake the dressing until it is golden brown: The dressing should be baked until it is golden brown and crispy on top. This will help to ensure that it is cooked all the way through.
Conclusion:
Apple, butternut squash, and sausage dressing is a delicious and festive side dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or any other special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With a little planning and preparation, you can make a dressing that will be the star of your holiday table.
