Sauté onions and celery in 1/2 cup butter until onions are golden. Heat broth in a saucepan over medium heat. Add remaining butter; cook until melted; set aside. In a large bowl, combine stuffing mix, onion mixture, sausage, apples, raisins, nuts, instant seasoning and cinnamon. Blend with your hands, adding broth mixture one cup at a time until desired consistency is reached. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Uncover and bake until stuffing is golden and heated through, 20 to 25 minutes more.
