Apple Sausage Stuffing

Happy Thanksgiving! Here's my stuffing recipe -- it takes the best parts of various recipes I have tasted over the years.

Apple Sausage Stuffing

8 T butter
2 C chopped yellow onions
1 C chopped celery
4 C peeled cubed green apples
1 lb breakfast sausage, browned
1 lb toasted white bread cubes
½ C minced fresh flat parsley
1½ T chopped fresh sage
1 T minced fresh thyme
¾ t salt
¾ t freshly ground black pepper
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1½ C chicken stock

Saute onions, celery and apples in butter until tender. Remove from heat, add remaining ingredients and stir together. Spoon into deep buttered dish and dot top with butter. Bake at 350 for 30 to 45 minutes until walnut brown crust forms.
