Slow Cooker Sausage Apple Stuffing

• 1 loaf Crusty Bread, Cut Into Cubes (1 Loaf Should Yield 6 Cups Or So When Cut)
• 1 pound Ground Sausage, Any Kind
• 3 stalks Celery, Diced
• 1 whole Onion, Diced
• 1 teaspoon Dried Rosemary
• 1 cup Chicken Stock, Plus More If Needed
• 1 whole Apple, Cored And Diced

1. If you can, let the bread cubes dry (uncovered) in a bowl or in the slow cooker pot for 2-3 days before making the stuffing.
2. Preheat a large skillet to medium-high. Add the sausage and cook for 15-20 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Cook until the sausage is crumbly, browned and cooked through.
3. Add the bread cubes, celery, onion, rosemary and sausage into a slow cooker. Drizzle with half of the stock, and stir. Add more stock if the stuffing seems dry. Press the stuffing into the slow cooker with the back of a spoon, then cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours, until the stuffing is slightly crusty on the edges.
4. While cooking, stir the stuffing every 45 minutes or so, pressing it back down each time you do so. With roughly 1 hour before serving, add the apple into the stuffing and stir. Add more stock if the stuffing seems dry, then press it back down and finish cooking it.
5. Enjoy!
6. Note: If using low-sodium stock, taste the stuffing as it cooks and add salt to your taste.
