How to Make Harvest Dressing

  1. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 medium apples, peeled and diced, and 1/2 cup raisins. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until apples are softened.
  2. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, and 4 cups cubed day-old bread.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup chicken or turkey broth (or apple juice for a vegetarian option) with 1 teaspoon of poultry seasoning (or sage) and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Add enough broth mixture to the skillet to moisten the bread to your desired consistency. Gently toss to combine.
  5. Pour the dressing into a greased 2-quart casserole dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
