Sweet baked apples. Savory sausage stuffing inside. A festive, flavorful side dish that will steal the show. Make Ahead Tips: The sausage stuffing can be made up to 2 days in advance, but don't add the optional milk/broth until just before stuffing the apples. As to the apples, don't cut them until you're ready to start stuffing them or else the cut sides will discolor too much.
