Apple & Cranberry Cornbread Dressing
This dressing is so delicious and very moist in the Southern tradition. Apples and celery add a great crunch and the sausage helps to keep it all moist.

Instructions
preheat oven to 350 degrees
cook breakfast sausage over medium high heat in a large skillet
break up into crumbles as it cooks and remove to a large mixing bowl when completely cooked
add onions and celery to skillet that sausage cooked in. (you may want to add a T of olive oil to the pan if sausage didn't leave enough in pan)
cook until onions and celery are softened, about 5 mins, stirring occasionally
pour into the mixing bowl with sausage
add remaining ingredients into the mixing bowl
push up sleeves, wash your hands and get those hands to work!
mixing is easiest with your hands
this mixture will be wet, you should be able to form little patties and have it hold shape
put the dressing mixture into a greased baking dish and place into oven
cook for 30 min covered, then remove cover and cook for another 15-20 min until a nice crunchy top is formed.
enjoy
