Thanksgiving is about so many delicious things to eat and for many, the meal resolves around a great Thanksgiving stuffing dish. Mom’s homemade sausage apple stuffing recipe is always a favorite because it’s truly delicious.

Easy Thanksgiving Stuffing with Sausage and Apples

Loaded with chunks of sausage, fresh apples and holiday spices, Mom’s stuffing is like a meal in it self. Seriously, we could just eat a bog bowl of this with some gravy on top and call it a meal! Her sausage and apple stuffing recipe is the go-to for the holidays and everyone always asks about it. We especially love that this stuffing has sourdough bread which adds such s great flavor to the sausage and apple mix.

Mom makes preparing it look effortless because it’s really an easy homemade Thanksgiving stuffing to prepare. It’s especially great if you want to serve a bunch of people. You can totally make this ahead of time and re-heat the next day. This Thanksgiving stuffing recipe is the perfect contribution to the meal when everyone else wants to bring he dessert. Also, if you have vegetarians coming you can omit the sausage. Some ideas would be to add some butternut squash for a veggie version that everyone will still love. And add these amazing melting sweet potatoes to your Holiday menu! Thanks Mom, we love you and your amazing cooking. Hugs!

Cook Time: 1 hour hr

If you have a very large oven-proof skillet that you want to serve the stuffing in, you can make everything in it and bake and serve straight from the skillet. Otherwise when ready to bake, transfer the stuffing to a 2 quart baking dish (approximately) and bake and serve the stuffing in it.
