Instructions

Step 1

Break up the whole wheat bread into chunks, break up the white bread baguette into similar size chunks, and bread up the corn bread into larger chunks as it will crumble when you eventually mix with all other ingredients.

Step 2

Melt half of the butter in skillet. Add chopped onions and cook over medium heat partially covered until tender and lightly colored. Transfer onions and butter to The bowl with the crumbled breads.

Step 3

Melt remaining butter in the same skillet. Add apple chunks and cook over high heat until lightly colored but NOT mushy. Transfer apples and butter to the bread mixture.

Step 4

Crumble the sausage into the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring until lightly browned. Transfer this to the bowl.

Step 5

Add remaining ingredients and combine all of this gently together.

Step 6

If you think this mixture is too dry, just add a couple of splashes of chicken broth.
