Squash and Sausage Bundle

12 Cups butternut squash, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 tsp. sage
4 medium granny smith apples, chopped
1 large onion
14 oz. smoked sausage, beef

may be a vegetarian dish by using 12 links meatless sausage, cut in half lengthwise and then thinly sliced.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place the pared and cut squash in a large bowl. Add the olive oil and stir to coat. In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper and sage. Add to squash and mix well. Lay a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a large 18 x 12 rimmed baking sheet. The foil should be large enough to cover the pan plus hang over approximately 2 inches. Spread the squash onto the foil in an even layer, leaving 2-3 inches of foil around the edges. Sprinkle the apples and onions evenly over the top. Place the sausage slices on top. Place another large piece of aluminum foil on top and seal all the edges. Place the baking pan on the center oven rack and bake at 375 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until the squash is soft enough to be easily pierced with a fork. Be careful when you unseal the edges of the foil, as the steam will be very hot
