How to Make Apple Zucchini Stuffing

- Add the zucchini and apples; cook until slightly tender, about 5 minutes more.
- Stir in the sage, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked vegetables with the bread cubes, broth, and cranberries.
- Mix gently to combine, ensuring the bread is moistened.
- Stuff the mixture into your chosen poultry or meat, or transfer to a greased baking dish.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. If using a baking dish, cover with foil for the first 45 minutes to prevent drying out.
