Preheat oven to 325°F.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until well-browned and no longer pink inside. Drain grease and set sausage aside in a large bowl. In the same pan over medium-low heat, sauté onions and celery with 2 Tablespoons butter until softened, about 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to bowl with sausage. Add walnuts, apples, herbs and bread cubes; mix well. Add warm chicken broth, melted butter, salt and pepper; mix thoroughly, making sure the bread is very well coated so stuffing does not dry out. Put stuffing in a large buttered casserole dish (about 3-quart), cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes.
