Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread bread cubes on a baking sheet.

  2. Toast bread in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, 10 to 15 minutes.

  3. Mix cinnamon, sage, sumac, white pepper, and cloves together in a small bowl.

  4. Brush acorn squash halves with olive oil. Sprinkle 3/4 teaspoon of the cinnamon mixture evenly over both halves. Transfer to a baking sheet.

  5. Bake acorn squash in the preheated oven until tender, about 30 minutes. Scrape flesh with a fork to loosen slightly.

  6. Combine toasted bread and vegetable stock in a pot over medium-low heat. Stir bread around to soak up the vegetable stock and warm up, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.

  7. Cook and stir sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir into the bread in the bowl. Add remaining cinnamon mixture, cranberries, pecans, and thyme, stir until evenly mixed.

  8. Divide bread mixture between the acorn squash halves.

  9. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
