Add the chorizo to the pan and cook until cooked through.

In a large bowl, add 1 pound of dried stuffing bread cubes.

Add the cooked chorizo to the bowl with the bread cubes.

In the same pan, melt 2 sticks of unsalted butter.

Add chopped onion, diced celery, and 1 diced honey crisp apple to the melted butter.

Cook the mixture for about 10 minutes until the vegetables soften and develop color.

Add 1 teaspoon of rubbed sage, 1 teaspoon of thyme, 1 teaspoon of rosemary, and 2 minced garlic cloves to the pan and stir.

Turn off the heat and add the vegetable and herb mixture to the bowl with the bread and chorizo.

Pour half of 2 and 1/2 cups of chicken stock over the bread mixture.

In the remaining chicken stock, whisk in 2 eggs, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Add the chicken stock and egg mixture to the bowl and stir everything together.
