Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Brush the cut sides of the squash with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place cut side down and roast for 35–45 minutes, or until tender.
While the squash roasts, cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Remove excess grease if necessary.
Add the diced onion, celery, and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the diced apple and fresh herbs (sage and thyme). Cook for another 3-5 minutes.
Once the squash is done, carefully scoop out some flesh to make room for the stuffing. Mix the scooped squash into the sausage-apple mixture.
Spoon the stuffing evenly into each squash half. If desired, top with grated parmesan cheese.
Return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the filling is hot and slightly golden.
Serve warm and enjoy!
