Ingredients

• 16 cups 1-inch bread cubes, sourdough (1 1/2 pound loaf) 
• 8 tbsp (1 stick) butter
• 1 cup medium-diced yellow onion ( about 1 onion)
• 1 cup medium-diced celery ( about 2 stalks)

1. Place bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet and let dry overnight.

2. In a large sauté pan, melt  half the butter and add the onions, celery, apples, sage, salt and pepper. Sauté over medium heat for 10 minutes, until the vegetables are softened. 

3. Add bread cubes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

4. In the same sauté pan, cook the sausage over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until browned and cooked through, breaking up the sausage with a spatula while cooking.
