Instructions

If your bread isn’t already stale, lay the cubes on a sheet tray and place in a 300˚F oven until dry and hard to the touch. Otherwise, heat the oven to 350˚F.
Place the sausage and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, rendering the fat and cooking until brown. Transfer cooked meat to a large bowl, leaving any rendered fat in the pan.
Add the butter and sliced onions and cook until they become translucent and start to brown, about 15 minutes. Season with salt, sage, and black pepper.
Add the apples and continue to cook until the onions are nice and caramelized, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer the onion mixture to the bowl with the sausage (be sure to scrape up any brown bits too).
Beat the eggs with 2 cups of stock. Add to the sausage mixture in the bowl along with the dried bread. If needed, add more chicken stock until all of the bread is moistened (I used about another 1/2 cup).
