Place potatoes in microwave-safe dish; cover with plastic wrap, venting one corner. Microwave on HIGH 7 to 9 minutes or until just tender; set aside. Meanwhile, in 3-quart saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-low heat until hot. Add apple, onion and celery; cook and stir 5 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and rosemary. Season inside and outside surfaces of chicken with additional salt and black pepper; spoon potato mixture into cavity of chicken. Do not pack. Place remaining stuffing in small casserole dish; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons water and cover with aluminum foil. Close chicken cavity and tie legs together; place on rack in 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Melt the remaining tablespoon butter; brush half the butter on chicken.

Place stuffing casserole in oven during last half-hour of roasting. Remove chicken to platter; let stand 10 minutes before carving. Serve with additional stuffing from casserole.
