Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray 9x13 inch baking pan. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then cook celery, onion, carrot, and 1/2 tsp salt, stirring until vegetables are tender about 12 minutes. Add apple and cook 2 minutes more to soften. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
Mix together ground chicken, egg, 1/3 cup applesauce, milk, bread crumbs, poultry seasoning, pepper, and remaining 1/2 tsp salt in a large bowl. Add onion mixture and stir gently until just combined. Transfer to prepared baking dish and shape into a 9x5x 1 and 1/2 inch loaf.
