Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Butter and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or spray with a nonstick cooking spray with flour, such as Baker's Joy.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the milk and whisk until evenly combined. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk mixture and the melted butter to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake until lightly golden around the edges and set, about 30 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack until cool enough to handle, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 250°F and set the oven rack in the middle position. Cut the cornbread into 1-inch squares. Place the cut cornbread on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted, about 1 hour. Cool the cornbread on the baking sheet, about 15 minutes.
- Place the sausage in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring and breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to the largest bowl you have (it needs to fit all the cornbread), leaving the fat in the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onions, celery, and 3 tablespoons of the butter to the pan. Cook until the vegetables are softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more. Off the heat, mix in the herbs. Add the vegetable mixture to the bowl with the sausage and mix to combine.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the milk, broth, and salt.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray. Add the dried cornbread cubes to the sausage and vegetable mixture. Pour the egg mixture over top. Fold the mixture a few times with a large rubber spatula, being careful not to break up the cornbread too much. Let the mixture sit, folding carefully a few times, until the cornbread is saturated, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the soaked cornbread mixture to the prepared pan, making sure the sausage and vegetables are evenly distributed. Try to arrange some of the larger pieces of cornbread on top; it looks prettier. Dot the top of the stuffing with the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 35 minutes. Serve warm.
- Make-Ahead/Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cornbread can be prepared up to two days ahead of time. Cut it into cubes and let it dry out on the countertop overnight instead of toasting it in the oven. If you'd like the assemble the stuffing in advance, prepare it up until the point of baking, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate up to a day ahead of time. When ready to serve, bake as directed, allowing a few extra minutes in the oven. It can also be frozen after baking, tightly covered, for up to 3 months. When you're ready to serve it, defrost in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Reheat it, covered with foil, in a 325°F oven until hot.

CORN BREAD-SAUSAGE STUFFING
Fresh herbs enhance any basic stuffing, like this recipe based on cornmeal. You may want to add toasted nuts, like chestnuts, pecans or walnuts. It can be prepared a day ahead -- I find that it is better that way -- and reheated in a warm oven. Serve it alongside a roast turkey breast.

CORNBREAD STUFFING WITH SAUSAGE AND APPLES
This is the Thanksgiving stuffing that most of my family prefers. I got it from Food TV. It's a recipe from Cock N' Bull Restaurant, Peddler's Village, Lahaska, Pennsylvania. The first time I made it, my kid's asked.." you're putting apples in the stuffing?..Yuck" But they gobbled it down.. they never used to even like stuffing at all before this one. Then every year since then, they beg for "the stuffing with the apples in it" This year, I'm making two kinds of stuffing. Bev has a near duplicate of my Grandmas stuffing, #44692 which I love so much. So I'm making both this year. I'm posting this so it is easy for me to find closer to Bird Day! It's moist and tasty. I usually make it in my slow cooker, but it's meant for stuffing a bird.

Tips:
- Sausage and Fruit Pairing: Choose savory sausages that pair well with the sweetness of fruits. Try spicy Italian sausage, sweet Italian sausage, or breakfast sausage, these all go well with fruits like apples, cranberries, or apricots.
- Veggies for More Texture: Add chopped vegetables like celery, onions, carrots, or bell peppers to add more texture and flavor to the stuffing.
- Herbs and Seasonings: Don't be afraid to experiment with herbs and spices to enhance the flavors in your stuffing. Try adding a combination of sage, thyme, rosemary, or oregano. A sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg can also add a warm, festive touch.
- Moisture is Key: To prevent dry stuffing, incorporate moisture through broth, melted butter, or even a beaten egg. These ingredients will help bind the mixture and keep it moist throughout the baking process.
- Perfect Bread Ratio: The ideal bread-to-filling ratio is 1:2. This ensures you have enough bread to hold the filling together without overwhelming it.
- Stuffing Make-Ahead: Prepare the stuffing a day ahead and let it rest in the refrigerator overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and develop, resulting in even more delicious stuffing.
- Avoid Overcrowding: When baking the stuffing, ensure your baking dish isn't overcrowded. This allows for even cooking and a crispy top.
- Fresh Herbs for Garnish: Before serving, garnish your stuffing with fresh herbs like parsley, rosemary, or sage. This adds a touch of color and freshness to the dish.
Conclusion:
Apricot and sausage cornbread stuffing is a delectable dish that combines sweet, savory, and tangy flavors. With its blend of juicy apricots, savory sausage, and moist cornbread, this stuffing is a perfect accompaniment to any holiday meal. Experiment with different sausage and fruit combinations, add vegetables for texture, and enhance the flavors with herbs and spices to create a unique and unforgettable stuffing that will delight your family and friends.
