Auntie Joan's Stuffing

I don't have any pictures of Auntie Joan so this is one of our Thanksgiving in York.  Every time I make this people rave and ask for the recipe.  It's the stuffing we have always had at home and that mum makes for Christmas and Thanksgiving every year.  I always think of Auntie Joan when we have it.

½ c. sausage

½ c. chopped granny smith apples

1 Tbsp chopped onion

½ c. breadcrumbs

½ c. chopped walnuts

¼ tsp salt

Dash of pepper

½ c. hot water

½ c. cracker crumbs

Fry sausage slightly – do not drain.  Mix in remaining ingredients.  Bake in casserole dish for ½ hour.  Basting as you go with turkey juices.
