Ingredients

1 stick butter plus 2 tbs
1 cup water
1 ½ cup chicken stock preferably low sodium
16 oz bread dried & cubed (out of a bag is fine)
1 yellow onion diced
2 stalks celery diced
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tbs black pepper freshly ground
¼ cup sage leaves fresh, chopped
¼ cup thyme fresh, chopped
¼ cup parsley fresh, chopped
1 apple cored and chopped
½ lb pork sausage ground

Instructions

Melt the stick of butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the water and chicken stock and stir. Pour the mixture over the dried bread cubes and stir to evenly coat the bread cubes. Set aside.
Melt two tablespoons of butter in a frying pan and sauté the onions and celery until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Don't let the garlic turn brown. Add the pepper, sage, thyme and parsley and cook for another minute. Add the apples and cook for another minute, then remove from the heat and set aside.
Heat the sausage in a frying pan until browned. Drain the sausage and add it and the sautéed vegetables to the bread cube mixture and stir to combine.
Place the mixture in a 13 X 9 baking dish that has been lightly sprayed with oil. Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes. Enjoy!
