This apple sausage stuffing is a winner, as it is highly aromatic and flavorful. Slightly crisp on the outside, tender on the inside. It's always someone's favorite side dish for the holidays.

Ingredients
- ½ lb ground sausage Italian seasoned, no casings
- 1 whole onion chopped
- 5 tsp sage leaves fresh, chopped
- 3 tsp rosemary fresh
- 1 fresh sprig thyme
- 6 cups bread French or Italian loaf, cut into cubes
- 1 whole apple peeled and chopped
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ⅓ cup parsley minced
- 4 TB butter melted
- 1 ½ to 2 cups chicken stock regular strength
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease an 8x8 baking dish, or one of similar size. Set aside.
- Combine bread cubes and place in single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake about 6 minutes, or until cubes are evenly toasted.
- In a skillet, brown the sausage and onions together over medium heat. Stir and break up lumps evenly, until fully cooked through. Add sage, rosemary, and thyme, and stir another 2 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine and toss together the toasted bread cubes, cooked sausage mixture, and all remaining ingredients except for chicken stock; toss so melted butter evenly coats bread cubes.Gradually add 1 cup of chicken stock and toss to coat. Depending on desired level of moisture, add up to another 1/2 cup and toss again so all bread cubes are lightly soaked.
- Place stuffing mixture into prepared baking dish. Bake 30 minutes, covered. Stir and add up to 1/2 cup broth, as needed to moisten the bread. Uncover, and bake another 15 minutes or until top is golden brown.
Notes
- Granny smith, fuji, or honeycrisp apple varieties work well.

- Granny smith, fuji, or honeycrisp apple varieties work well.
- Stuffing can be assembled the night before, up to the point of adding broth. Add the broth only when ready to bake.
- You can use entirely wheat or white bread, if preferred. If opting for all-white bread only, choose a loaf with more robust texture.
- For a meatless version, simply omit the sausage or use vegan ground "meat". You can opt for vegetable broth in lieu of chicken broth.
- If you prefer a texture more similar to stuffing that's been cooked in a turkey, add a bit more broth until it's to your liking. See notes in original article.
