3 medium apples, peeled and chopped
1 medium onion, chopped

4 cups fresh bread crumbs
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon crushed basil
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning

C. drippings from saucepan. Over medium heat, cook apples, onion and celery about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in sausage and remaining ingredients. Mix well. Spoon mixture into casserole and bake 30 minutes in preheated oven at 350 degrees. This is the recipe I use, except for the Rager sausage. My Uncle and Aunt owned and ran a country butcher shop for years and their meat was the best! This is her recipe.
