Instructions

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
Cut the bread into 1/2" to 3/4" pieces and spread them out on baking sheets.
Bake the bread for about 1 hour, tossing occasionally until dried. Remove and set aside in a large bowl.
Raise the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add celery and onions, cooking until tender, about 8 minutes.
Add ground sausage and break it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, then mix in chopped apples for an additional minute.
Stir in poultry seasoning, parsley, thyme, sage, salt, pepper, and chicken broth.
Combine the mixture with the dried bread, folding gently until the bread is moist. Add more chicken broth if needed.
Spray a 9" x 13" baking dish with nonstick spray and spread the stuffing mixture in.
Bake for 45-60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes until the top is golden brown.
Serve warm and enjoy!
