Description

Sausage and apple stuffing is a classic side dish that brings the flavors of the season to your table, offering a delightful balance of savory and sweet.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound pork sausage
  • 4 cup bread cubes
  • 1 large apple, diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup celery, chopped
  • 2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the Sausage: In a skillet, cook the pork sausage until it’s browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the pan and set it aside.
  3. Sauté the Veggies and Apple: In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the onion, celery, garlic, and diced apple until they’re softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the fresh sage and thyme.
  4. Combine the Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the bread cubes, cooked sausage, sautéed veggie-apple mixture, and chopped parsley. Gradually add the chicken broth, stirring until the bread is moist but not soggy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Transfer the stuffing mixture to the prepared baking dish and press it down lightly. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is crisp and golden.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Let the sausage and apple stuffing cool slightly before serving. Savor the wonderful blend of flavors and textures in every bite.

Notes

Using a mixture of day-old and toasted bread cubes can create a delightful contrast in texture.

Feel free to adjust the herbs and spices to suit your personal taste preferences.

Be mindful not to oversaturate the stuffing with too much broth.

For an extra-crispy top, drizzle a bit of melted butter or olive oil over the stuffing before baking.
