How to make Pork Sausage and Apple Stuffing

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).

  2. Finely chop the onion, Granny Smith apple, fresh sage, and fresh thyme. Thinly slice the celery.

  3. Cut the white bread into half-inch pieces. Roughly chop the pecans. Remove the casings from the pork sausage.

Cooking

  1. In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, add the pork sausage. Stir frequently, breaking the pork into small pieces. Cook for 10 minutes or until cooked through. Drain and set aside.

  2. Reheat the sauté pan over medium-high heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the onion and celery. Stir occasionally until the onion is fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.

  3. Add the apple and pecans, and cook for another 3 minutes.

  4. Add the bread and carefully toss to combine. Add the chicken stock, heavy cream, sage, and thyme. Season with kosher salt and ground black pepper.

  5. Beat the egg and add it to the mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.

Tips & Tricks

  1. For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to the mixture.

  2. Ensure the bread is day-old or slightly stale for the best texture.
