200 Calorie Apple and Chicken Sausage Stuffed Acorn Squash

In honor of the first night of fall I decided to make a fall-inspired dinner for myself, since it was also my first night back in my apartment for school

I have half a peck of honeycrisp apples that I picked myself so I knew I wanted to include those, and I also wanted to try making acorn squash for the first time. To add some protein I decided to also add a link of Chicken Apple Sausage - you could add more but I had italian beef and sausage for lunch, and I usually don't eat very much meat so I didn't want to go into a meat overload

For this recipe you only need 3 ingredients: an acorn squash, an apple, and sausage

This recipe is Gluten free, Dairy free, and Paleo :)
