Stuffed Acorn Squash

2 Acorn Squashes, about 2 lbs each

filling:
10 oz bulk pork sausage
1/2 c chopped onion
1 lb  sweet apples, peeled and chopped
1/4 c raisins
1/4 c dried cranberries
1/2 t dried thyme
3 T   chopped pecans

topping:
1/4 c maple syrup

Cut squash in half, cut off just enough tip so
squash can stand up like a bowl (but not enough
tip so things will leak out).

Bake squash @ 350 cut side down until almost tender,
maybe 35-45 minutes

prepare filling: fry sausage until mostly done 
and then add the rest of the filling stuff and
cook until apples and onions are tender
 
Fill the squash halves, drizzle with syrup, and
bake till filling starts to brown on top, about
15 minutes.
