How to Make Apple Stuffing

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 6 cups cubed day-old bread, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning, and 1/2 cup chopped fresh sage.
  3. In a separate saucepan, melt 1/2 cup margarine over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped celery and 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, until apples are slightly softened.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup milk, and 2 large eggs, lightly beaten.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  8. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of dried sage evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
