Ingredients:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound spicy pork bulk sausage
1 cup diced celery
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced peeled cored apple

Using slotted spoon, transfer sausage to large bowl. Add celery and next 6 ingredients to drippings in skillet. Sauté over medium heat until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Add mixture to sausage. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill. Reheat to lukewarm before continuing.)
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Add bread to sausage mixture. Whisk milk, broth, and butter in bowl to blend. Mix into stuffing; season stuffing with salt and pepper. Mix in eggs; transfer to prepared dish. Bake uncovered until cooked through and brown, about 50 minutes.
-----------AND HERE'S ANOTHER ONE...
Cornbread, Sausage, Apple, & Pecan Stuffing
Breads, fruit, nuts, and sausage combine to make a tasty stuffing for a 20-lb turkey or a casserole of dressing on the side. If you're using a smaller turkey, you can put excess stuffing in a smaller casserole dish and bake it while the turkey's resting before carving. Southern influenced, this has become our favorite dressing for Thanksgiving or any special occasion. You could add other fruits (cranberry AND apple, for example) or different nuts or seasonings to suit your tastes.
12-14 servings
2¼ hours 40 min prep
12 tablespoons butter (1 1/2 sticks)
2 cups finely-chopped yellow onions
3 tart apples, cored and chunked,but not peeled (Jonathan, Winesap or Granny Smith)
1 lb bulk breakfast sausage, with sage (or your favorite bulk sausage)
3 cups coarsely crumbled cornbread
3 cups coarsely crumbled whole wheat bread or multi-grain bread
3 cups coarsely crumbled French bread or Italian bread
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried sage
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley
1 1/2 cups shelled pecan halves (do not chop)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
Melt half the butter in a large skillet.
Add onions and cook over medium-low to medium heat until tender and lightly browned, about 25 minutes.
Remove onion and butter from pan and put in a very large bowl to be mixed later.
In same skilled, melt rest of the butter, add apple, and cook quickly over high heat until lightly browned, but not mushy.
Remove apples and butter from pan and put in the bowl with the onions.
With the pan back on the burner, add sausage, crumbling as you cook it over medium heat, and cook until lightly browned.
When done, remove with a slotted spoon and add it to the mixing bowl.
Reserve drippings for basting later.
Add remaining ingredients to the mixing bowl and combine gently.
If you're going to stuff a turkey, cool completely in the refrigerator first.
To cook it as a separate dressing, spoon the mixture into a large casserole (13 x 9 or slightly larger), cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30- 45 minutes at 325, basting occasionally with cooking juices from the turkey or with reserved sausage fat, if needed.
Uncover the pan for the last 10 minutes of cooking to brown.
Serve hot or warm.
Note: You may need to use additional broth as necessary to adjust the moistness of the stuffing to your taste, or if there are insufficient drippings from your poultry.

This sounds yummy if you just want apples n' sausage:
2 lbs uncooked pork sausage links

Cook sausage according to the package directions; drain on paper towel lined plates and set aside.
In a saucepan, add apples, onion, water, and brown sugar.
Cook over medium heat for 5-8 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the sausage.
Cook until thoroughly heated
I've made this one before and it's one of my FAVE dishes!!
2 (1 lb) butternut squash, halved and seeded
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
8 ounces fresh bulk sausage (I use Jimmy Dean's Maple)
2 apples, peeled and cubed into 1/4-inch cubes
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground sage
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon butter, cut into bits
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Preheat oven to 375.
Lightly oil baking dish.
Half squash lengthwise and remove seeds.
Arrange squash cut side up on the baking dish.
Brush lightly with oil and cover with foil.
Bake until almost tender, 30-40 minutes.
Keep the oven on.
Meanwhile, crumble the sausage into a skillet and cook over medium heat until no longer pink.
Add apple.
Cook, stirring until crisp-tender.
Let cool slightly.
Scoop out the squash, leaving 3/8 inch thick shells.
Lightly mix the squash pulp into the sausage mixture breaking up squash as little as possible.
Mix the butter, brown sugar, pecans, sage, salt and pepper.
Pile the stuffing into the squash halves.
Dot with bits of butter and brown sugar.
Bake uncovered until piping hot and brown and crusty on top, 20-25 minutes.
Let cool for several minutes before serving.
