How to Make Apple Sage Stuffing

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 celery stalks, chopped, and saute until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, and 2 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and diced. Sauté for another 5 minutes, until apples are slightly softened.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons fresh sage, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried sage), a pinch of nutmeg, and 6 cups of cubed day-old bread.
  6. Reduce heat to medium. Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth, along with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley and 1/4 cup chopped fresh thyme.
  7. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
  8. Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish or similar oven-safe dish.
  9. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
