Apple & Sausage Cornbread Stuffing

With homemade cornbread, sausage, and apples, this gluten-free cornbread stuffing is the only stuffing recipe you’ll need. It’s loaded with fresh herbs and packed with flavor. Plus you can make it in advance!

This recipe was originally posted November 17th, 2014 and has since been updated.

There are things you take for granted when you live with your parents that slap you in the face as soon as you’re on your own. Subtle but more vital things than laundry or dishes.

Things like changing the oil in your car, for example. How are you supposed to know that your dad’s been changing your oil all these years? Hopefully not by your car overheating and your radiator cracking during your first year in college like me.

Or things like how much liquid to put into homemade gluten-free cornbread stuffing.

Homemade Gluten-Free Cornbread Stuffing

Even though I’ve made this exact stuffing for the past five Thanksgivings, I still had to call my mom today. I took for granted the opportunity to ask her “is this stuffing too dry?” until she wasn’t by my side making mashed potatoes.

This is the only stuffing recipe I’ll ever need, yet somehow this is the first time I’ve written it down in its entirety.

Without fail, every Thanksgiving, I have to search through my inbox to find the 5-year-old e-mail to mom with my Thanksgiving shopping list just to recall what I put in my stuffing. Not this Thanksgiving though. This year, I’m writing it down for posterity!

Gluten-Free Stuffing Recipe

Over the years, this stuffing has gone through many iterations that started with a seasoned cornbread stuffing box mix. The first version didn’t have onions, and a couple of years my mom snuck water chestnuts in (I’ve since vetoed them – it’s a texture thing).

With homemade cornbread and fresh herbs, this version is absolute perfection.

How to make Gluten-Free Cornbread stuffing

This stuffing is made gluten-free with homemade cornbread. 

Mixing homemade cornbread with toasted whole-grain gluten-free bread ensures a sturdy texture that won’t fall apart when tossed with liquid and vegetables.

Gluten-Free Sausage Stuffing Recipe

Best Gluten-Free Stuffing

The flavor key to this stuffing is adding sausage. Don’t skip it! The spice from the sausage contrasts the sweet apples and corn.

If there’s one Thanksgiving leftover that people fight over in our house, it’s this apple and sausage cornbread stuffing.

Can you Make Gluten-Free Stuffing in Advance?

Save time by making this gluten-free stuffing a day or two in advance. Bake it all the way through skipping the broiler step, let it cool, then store it wrapped well in plastic in the fridge. Pull it out the morning of to let the dish come to room temperature, then ready, roast it, covered with foil, for 15-20 minutes at 350°F just to heat it through. Remove the foil and broil for 2-3 minutes to make the top crispy again!

Gluten-Free Sausage Stuffing Apples

Gluten-Free Cornbread Stuffing

Yield: 12-14 as a side
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 50 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour

With homemade cornbread and fresh herbs, this gluten-free cornbread stuffing with sausage and apples is the only stuffing recipe you'll ever need!

Ingredients

  • 1 gluten-free buttermilk skillet cornbread, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
  • 8 slices gluten-free whole grain or white bread, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 pound pork sausage
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 4 celery ribs, diced
  • 2 fuji or honeycrisp apples, core removed and chopped
  • 2 teaspoons fresh marjoram, minced (or 3/4 teaspoon dried marjoram)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, minced (or 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh sage leaves, minced (or 2 teaspoons dried sage)
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Pinch dried nutmeg
  • 3 to 3½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F.
  2. Spread the cornbread and chopped white bread evenly over 2 baking sheets and toast for 10-15 minutes, or until crispy and lightly browned, tossing every 5 minutes (if using a dark coated baking sheet, toasting time will be only around 5 minutes). When the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven and increase the temperature to 375°F.
  3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the sausage, breaking it into bite-sized pieces with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  4. In the same pan, melt the butter (if you have a lot of sausage grease, you might not need butter - I had almost none). Add the onions and celery and cook until the onions begin to sweat, about 4 minutes. Add the apples and cook for another 2 minutes. Transfer to the same mixing bowl with the sausage.
  5. Toss the sausage and vegetables with the marjoram, thyme, sage, rosemary, nutmeg, and toasted cornbread and bread.
  6. Pour in 3 cups of the chicken broth and toss to coat. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes and toss again. If it's still dry, add up to 1/2 cup more chicken broth, slowly. You want it to be moist, but not soggy.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Transfer to a large baking dish (usually I bake mine in two 9x13 glass baking dishes). Bake at 375°F for 20-30 minutes, until the top begins to get crispy and brown. For a bit of extra crisp, put it under the broiler for 3 minutes.

Notes

This makes a big batch of stuffing since we usually have the whole family together for Thanksgiving. It's our favorite dish and it keeps well as leftovers, so even when it's just a few of us, we always want the leftovers!

    I love your recipe! I use many of the same ingredients but I must say the apples would be a nice addition. I have never used any other bread in the mix except cornbread but I can see that it would make the stuffing hold up better. The last 10 years we have spent thanksgiving with our family in San Antonio so I usually wait to fix my stuffing for Christmas Dinner. Have a wonderful and beautiful Thanksgiving!

    That was exactly how I felt when I flew across the world to live on my own for the very first time. Though I was (still am) glad I did. Parents, at that point, were more like a “support system” to answer all the questions we got from the “real world.” Yours was such a cute story, and yes, this looks like a yummy stuffing to bookmark. <3

    StoveTop tasted delicious. . and now I make the homemade stuffing. . love the sausage and apples here! This year, I’m actually making a bread pudding but who knows, a stuffing might pop up on the table too! :)

It’s amazing how utterly clueless you are about directions when you 16, even though you’ve grown up in the same town your whole life. Trying to remember how to get Nordstrom is quite the brain task. And I totally remember MapQuest! How did we live without our phones for GPS? This stuffing sounds SO delicious! I want to try this variation!

    3. PENNY CANDY STORE?

    4. I… make… Stove Top. I’m sorry! I think it’s delicious! Something in the special herbs and spices and… chemicals, I’m sure. But we always HAVE another stuffing (for the REAL grown ups) and my family would DIE for this one. YUM, SARAH. AS USUAL.

    One of my favorite things about having a blog is when you finally publish those recipes that you never write down or have to call your mom to remind you how their made! So, I love stuffing and it was my thing back in the days before I was married and vegetarian. So I loved to use apples and cranberries and sometimes even a little faux sausage. I think I’ll always love that type the very best even though these days I usually just stick to the plain Jane bread stuffing cause my husband likes it best. Sigh…. the things we do for love ; )

You see,my sister and I are 1 1/2 years apart, and my parents (I shall not forgive them for this) decided that we were fully capable of figuring it out amongst ourselves how we can fairly share the car. Let’s just say that everyday I woke up and looked out the window, the car was gone! (I mean where did she go at 7 in the morning?). Anyway, glad those days are behind me. No wonder I’m still a terrible driver. Not enough practice haha. Anyway, this stuffing looks fabulous! You know how I recently posted a vegetarian cornbread dressing? well my sister def was not happy and texted me that morning saying “I want sausage!” I just found that recipe to make for her royal highness ;)

    And I haven’t tried stuffing with cornbread but of course it’s delicious! I wouldn’t say we have a “traditional” recipe for anything during Thanksgiving, and it’s usually all made by me and I make everything pretty much as I go (not smart probably), but I do always include a bunch of herbs and apple chunks!!!

    It’s so funny because I can see my mom wanting to sneak water chestnuts in this too. She seems to believe that everything needs to be crunchier with water chestnuts. I find them in her dumplings ALL the time! I remember dropping off one of my roommates at the Sac airport once and got lost trying to get back to Davis. The roads were so dark, I thought I was going the right way until I saw signs for Yuba, and I thought, that name doesn’t sound familiar! My experience wasn’t quite as epic as yours, but I totally know how it feels to get lost!

    Awww, your story makes me nostalgic for so many things… it’s pretty much a story from my childhood too. Not a huge surprise that we were the exact same growing up, considering how alike we are now! :)

    Also, shout out to my iphone for saving me from getting lost and driving an hour in the wrong direction SO MANY TIMES!!!

    I make this stuffing every year for Thanksgiving and it gets ALL the compliments. I am so unsatisfied with any other stuffing. This dish is so flavorful and the combination of herbs takes it to another level. LOVE!

Chewy gluten-free lemon cookies with crisp edges. Chewy gluten-free lemon cookies with crisp edges. This cookie marks the shifting of micro-seasons from Holiday Winter to New Year Winter (TM). It's a subtle change, one mostly perceivable in the baked goods coming out of each, but one that I believe should be celebrated with plenty cookies (both before and after the seasonal shift).

So here are are, firmly in the land of backyard citrus, so I’m making all the lemon desserts. These cookies have sturdy crisp edges with a soft and fluffy, but intensely chewy center and a punch of lemon. Get the recipe link in my profile @snixykitchen.

Time to dig into citrus season! Get the recipe for Time to dig into citrus season! Get the recipe for this gluten-free earl grey bundt cake with blood orange drizzle on the blog - link in profile @snixykitchen.

Last year, Zoella (4) peeled and ate a blood orange she’d found in a bush in our side yard when we weren’t looking. We found the sticky peels on the steps and panicked - where did this blood orange come from? Did an animal bring it? Is she going to get sick?! 
•
And that’s how we discovered our neighbors have a blood orange tree. By that point, it had dropped most of its fruit except for a few very high up branches that leaned over our fence. The tree is fruiting and nearly ripe again so I’m hopeful I can barter for a bag of oranges in exchange for some slices of this bundt cake.

We’re mixing up our meal planning routine with t We’re mixing up our meal planning routine with this savory gluten-free dutch baby topped with gruyere, a pile of buttery thyme mushrooms, and garlic wilted Baby Kale. Getting out of our dinner rut feels refreshing! Made in partnership with @plenty, this breakfast, lunch, or dinner anytime dish shows off their pesticide-free greens that are vertically farmed right here in the Bay Area. I’ve told you this before and it’s not an exaggeration when I say these are my favorite greens – they somehow taste fresher and more vibrant. 
•
I dropped some of this dutch baby off with my neighbor and, without prompting, she immediately texted, “YOM. I would make this. Greens are hella good.” It’s true. The greens are the star. If you’re in the Bay Area, use the link in my profile to find out where to get them near you!
•
Related big news: Ira (2) voluntarily ate cooked Baby Kale without throwing it on the floor or sneakily moving it to his sister’s plate. Even Ira knows a good thing when he sees it. 
•
For the gluten-free dutch baby recipe, search “almond dutch baby” on snixykitchen.com. Omit the sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla, and top it with grated gruyere 5 minutes before it’s done. For topping, saute some mixed mushrooms in butter with fresh thyme, and sliced garlic. Then add a few handfuls of Baby Kale and toss just to wilt. Salt & pepper to your heart’s content. If you want the extra flare, add a runny fried egg (eggs on eggs – why not?).

Ultra chewy gluten-free blondies. A cross between Ultra chewy gluten-free blondies. A cross between a cookie bar and a brownie, they’ve got a vanilla cookie-dough with rich toffee notes from browned butter and dark brown sugar. A crackly top with classic brownie crispy edges and chewy center. Made in partnership with @bobsredmill (ad), they’re infinitely customizable with your favorite add-ins! Head to my stories to learn about why I chose chocolate chips instead of chopped chocolate chunks.

This final recipe uses almond flour, with an options for nut-free and grain-free versions. I tested multiple leading flours and, in a blind taste-test with 10 of my neighbors, every single one chose this almond flour version, describing it as “classic.” So there you go - get the recipe link for these classic chocolate chip blondies in my profile @snixykitchen.

It’s about time for our annual sugar cookie sess It’s about time for our annual sugar cookie session. This is what my sugar cookies look like when I decorate them by myself without kids. The ones we make for Santa will surely be rainbow swirled and very messy with a pile of sprinkles as thick as the cookie (I’ve heard that’s how Santa likes them anyhow). Get my cut-out sugar cookie recipe link in my profile.

Fun fact: I had to buy these holiday cookie cutters specifically for this post. There was a good couple of years where I only had a hippo cookie cutter and made holiday hippos every year. I still prefer my more eclectic cutters to the traditional ones. What’s your favorite cookie cutter in your collection?

I don’t know about you, but I could use a warm hug right about now. A slice of coffee cake with a ribbon of cinnamon sugar, a pile of streusel, and a vanilla icing drizzle feels like the food equivalent to that. You’ll find me snuggled up under my favorite blanket with a cup of tea and a slice of coffee cake every evening this week. Find the recipe link in my bio @snixykitchen.
