This stuffing is a twist on my traditional stuffing recipe. The sweet and savory flavors of the spicy sausage and sweet apples compliment each other in a wonderful way and the beer adds wonderful flavor and moisture. It is the perfect accompaniment to your favorite dish. It goes great with roasted chicken or baked ham.You can use whatever beer you like, I used a bottle of my husband's nut brown ale home brew. I imagine this would be awesome with a hard cider if you wanted a sweeter stuffing.
