Bake until dry to the touch, about 30 minutes.

Let cool; transfer to a large bowl.

Meanwhile, pulse onion and celery in a food processor until finely chopped.

Leaving the fat in the skillet, transfer the sausage to a plate.

Add the sausage, apple and garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Let cool for 5 minutes.

Increase oven temperature to 350.

Slowly add broth, 1/2 cup at a time, allowing it to absorb before adding more.

Transfer the stuffing to the prepared baking dish, pressing down on it.

Cover with the foil, sprayed-side down.

Bake until the internal temperature registers 165F, about 50 minutes for moist stuffing.
