Apple Sausage Stuffing

I know I missed the mark on posting this before Thanksgiving but does stuffing season really end until after Christmas? Nope. We don't eat stuffing year round but from mid-November to December 25th it is our thang. And my apple sausage stuffing is the delicious, no one will be disappointed.

Ingredients:
1 sweet or yellow onion
2 apples (I like honey crisp)
1 cup chopped celery
1 lb. ground Italian sausage (or sage sausage)
1 bag plain stuffing mix (not stove top, you just need the croutons in it)
Sage
Thyme
Basil
Garlic
Salt and Pepper
Chicken broth
1 egg

Step 1: 

1 cup diced celery

1 diced yellow onion

2 diced apples

Step 2:

Brown sausage, then set aside to drain

In a sauce pan saute onion, apples, and celery with a little chicken broth

Season with salt and pepper and garlic powder

Once the veggies/fruit are softened and carmelized add the cooked sausage

Step 3:

Add one bag of stuffing croutons to the mixture in a large bowl, add about 1 cup to 2 cups of chicken broth to the mix (depending on how dry or, dare I say, moist you like your stuffing)

Seasoning with Thyme, sage, and basil (let's say a teaspoon of each)

I'll also add a bit more salt and garlic at this point.

Step 4:

Add one egg to the mixture. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. You can also make this ahead of time and bake the day of.
