Stuffed Acorn Squash

I had never had an acorn squash until I started receiving them in abundance from my work share CSA program at a local organic farm. A friend recommended stuffing them with "whatever", so I decided that apples sounded good. You could make this a main dish by adding in some crumbled cooked sausage or bacon.
