Spoon into the seeded squash halves and bake for about 40 minutes, or until you can pierce the skin with a fork.
Pour the margarine mixture from the center into a medium bowl.
Scoop out some of the cooked squash flesh with a spoon, making sure to leave enough at the bottom so that the squash hold their shape, and add to the bowl.
Add the vegan sausages, apples and walnuts and mix until well combined.
