Ingredients

2
Butternut Squash
1
cup Herb Seasoned stuffing
1
cup corn bread stuffing
1/4
cup onion, chopped
1/4
cup celery, chopped
1
cup chicken broth
1/2
cup dried cranberries
1/2
cup pecans, chopped
1/2
cup apple, diced
2
Tablespoons parsley, chopped
2
Tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper
1/4
cup parmesan cheese, optional
Extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Cut the squash in half, scrape out seeds and roast in a baking dish with the flesh side up at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.

While squash are roasting, melt butter in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and celery and cook 2 to 3 minutes.  Remove from heat.  Add broth, seasoned stuffing, cornbread stuffing, cranberries, pecans, apples and parsley.  Spoon into prepared butternut squash and continue to bake covered at 350 for 30 minutes or until squash are fork tender.  For a crunchier stuffing, bake uncovered.
