This delightful side dish is a must-have for your holiday feasts or any special occasion. The combination of succulent sausage, tart cranberries, and crisp apples creates a symphony of flavors that will leave your guests craving for more. Follow our easy-to-follow steps to whip us this delectable stuffing that will elevate your meal to a whole new level of deliciousness.

Apple & Sausage Cranberry Stuffing

Here’s what you need to make this Apple and sausage cranberry stuffing:

  • Sausage
  • Bread crumbs – I’m using day-old French bread, then I cut it into cubes
  • Onions & Celery – chopped
  • Apple and Dried Cranberries
  • Olive oil and butter
  • Fresh herbs – Sage, Rosemary and Parsley – minced 
  • Chicken stock
  • Salt & Pepper

Most of these ingredients can be easily found in the grocery store or maybe in your kitchen. However, when it comes to herbs it is best to use fresh ones, but if you cannot find any dry herbs will do.

How do we make this savory stuffing recipe?

  • Let’s start by pre-heating the oven to 350 degrees and thoroughly spray your casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. 
  • In a pan, saute onion, and celery over medium heat until soften.
  • Add sausage and break it as it browns, once cooked through season with salt and pepper then stir in fresh herbs.
  • Stir in diced apples, cranberries, bread crumbs, and chicken stock.

  • Transfer the stuffing mixture to a 9 x 13 casserole dish or baking pan that has been sprayed with non-stick oil.

  • Drizzle melted butter over the stuffing mixture and cover tightly with foil.
  • Bake for 25 minutes covered, then for another 20 minutes uncovered until stuffing is lightly toasted.
  • Sprinkle with additional fresh herbs before serving.

I hope you enjoy this recipe like I do because this Apple and Sausage Cranberry Stuffing offers a delightful balance of textures and tastes. This is a perfect accompaniment for your Thanksgiving feasts or any festive gathering. 

A side dish that pairs beautifully with your Roasted Turkey, Chicken, or Pork, or even as the main attraction for a Vegetarian holiday dinner.
