We all know Thanksgiving wouldn’t be the same without the stable bowl of stuffing on the side, right!? But let’s just take a moment to entertain the thought that you MAY want to get a little more creative with it. That’s where this remarkably easy & delicious apple stuffing steps in to blow your socks off!

What you’ll need:

1 lb. sourdough, cut or torn into 1″ pieces

4 tbsp. butter, melted

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

1 medium yellow onion, chopped

2 stalks celery, chopped

1 tsp. freshly chopped rosemary

2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and chopped 

1/2 c. dried cranberries

1/2 c. sliced almonds

1 1/2 c. low-sodium chicken broth

What you’ll need to do:

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place bread in a large bowl and toss with melted butter, salt, and a few cranks of black pepper. Spread onto a large baking sheet and bake until bread is toasted, about 15 to 20 minutes. 

Step 2

In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion, celery, and rosemary and cook until vegetables are soft, 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. 

Step 3

In a large bowl combine the toasted bread, vegetables, apples, cranberries, and almonds. Add the broth and toss the ingredients, to fully coat the bread. Transfer the mixture to a 9×13” baking pan and cover it with foil. 

Step 4

Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake it until the top is golden, then bake it for a further 30 minutes.
