Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place squash skin-sides down in a baking dish. Stab the outsides several times with a fork. Flip over and split butter evenly over the insides, coating the "bowls" with butter. Set aside.
- Combine apple, potato, and kielbasa with onion and cranberries in a bowl. Pour in eggs and stir to combine. Heat a buttered frying pan over medium heat and pour in the egg mixture. Cook and stir until eggs are set, about 5 minutes. Scoop mixture into the squash bowls. Top with provolone cheese and cover with foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until squash is tender, about 45 minutes. Remove foil for the last 15 minutes for a crispy top.

CRANBERRY APPLE STUFFED SQUASH
It's fall in Wisconsin! Made this up last night after traveling to our local apple orchard and picking out a beautiful autumn cup winter squash, a 'cousin' of the butternut squash, too good not to share!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 and prepare baking dish large enough to hold your squash.
- Halve squash and scoop out the pulp.
- Place cut side down in baking dish and bake for 35 minutes. I usually add just a bit of water to the dish to keep the squash moist.
- About 7-10 minutes before your timer goes off, prepare filling. Heat small saucepan over medium heat, add butter, diced apple, fresh cranberries, brown sugar, pecans and cinnamon. Heat over medium heat until butter is melted, then simmer on low until timer goes off.
- Remove squash from oven, flip over and fill with apple/cranberry filling.
- Bake an additional 25-35 minutes depending on the type and size of your squash, again adding just a little water to the bottom of your baking dish. Squash is done when fork tender.

Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Look for sugar pumpkins, butternut squash, or acorn squash that are firm and have a deep color.
- Prepare the squash properly: Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the inside with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast the squash: Place the squash halves cut-side up on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F for 30-40 minutes, or until tender.
- Make the filling: While the squash is roasting, prepare the filling. This can be done ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Stuff the squash: Once the squash is roasted and the filling is prepared, stuff the squash halves with the filling. Top with cheese, nuts, or seeds, if desired.
- Bake the stuffed squash: Place the stuffed squash halves back in the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is heated through.
