Chicken Sausage Stuffed Baked Apples

I love stuffing fruit and vegetables this time of year. Apples and squash are natural vessels for fillings. A firm baked apple holds it’s shape and adds a bit of sweetness and fall flavor to the dish.
Carve out the core and a bit more apple to form a cavity. Fill with the chicken sausage stuffing and bake uncovered for about an hour until the apple is soft but not mushy.
Precooked chicken sausage is a great time saver. Saute the celery and onions then crumble in the sausage. Add your broth, bread and seasonings and your filling is ready.

I’m a sucker for a versatile apple like these New Zealand variety. It’s a great eating apple. I also made pie with it and today’s Chicken Sausage Stuffed Baked Apples!

Envy Apples

You can drizzle Chicken Sausage Stuffed Baked Apples with honey but using a sweeter apple works great!
