How to Make Apple Stuffing
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 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.
- In a separate saucepan, melt 1/2 cup margarine over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- 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.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup milk, and 2 large eggs, lightly beaten.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the stuffing mixture to a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of dried sage evenly over the top.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
