How to Make Stuffed Apples
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare 1 cup of stuffing mix according to package directions.
- In a large skillet, cook 1 pound sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink. About 8-10 minutes.
- Remove sausage with a slotted spoon, reserving 2 tablespoons of drippings in the skillet. Drain sausage on paper towels and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup water and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Set aside.
- Cut 6 medium apples in half, through the stem and bottom. Scoop out the apple pulp and cores, leaving a 1/4-inch shell.
- Brush the cut sides of the apple shells with the lemon juice mixture.
- Discard apple cores and seeds. Finely chop the apple pulp and set aside.
- Add 1/2 medium onion, chopped, to the skillet with the reserved sausage drippings. Sauté over medium-high heat for 5-10 minutes, or until the onion is softened and translucent.
- Add the chopped apple pulp to the skillet and cook for another 3-5 minutes, until softened and any excess liquid has evaporated.
- In a large bowl, combine the prepared stuffing, apple mixture, cooked sausage, and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley.
- Spoon the stuffing mixture evenly into the apple shells.
- Place the stuffed apples in a 13x9 inch baking pan. Pour 1 cup apple cider around the apples.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the stuffing is heated through.
- Garnish with extra parsley, if desired. Serve warm.
