Add the celery, onion, and apple to the same skillet the bacon was cooking in (don’t drain off the bacon grease) and sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened about 8-10 minutes.
Add the parsley, thyme, sage, and marjoram and stir. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl.
Add the breadcrumbs, egg, salt, pepper, chicken broth and bacon to the vegetable and apple mixture.
