Sausage-Apple Stuffed Squash

This was VERY good. I used 2 large buttercup squash instead. I also included a crumb topping combining 1/3 c. bread crumbs, 1/4 c. Parmesan and 1/4 c. shredded cheddar cheese. I then melted 3 TBS of butter and drizzled it over all. I would give five stars but end result was a bit dry, next time I make it I will try adding butter and brown sugar under meatballs.
