Apple, Sage, Onion Stuffing

Ingredients:

  • 1 loaf bread (day old preferred)

  • 1 large apple, diced 

  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced 

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced 

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage 

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • 2 large eggs

  • 6 tablespoons butter 

  • 1 T fresh chopped parsley

  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions:

  1. Begin with bread sliced into one inch pieces that have set out overnight. If you do not have time for this, heat oven to 325°F and place cubed bread on baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes or until dried out.

  2. Preheat oven after bread is removed to 375°F.

  3. Place bread into a large bowl.

  4. In a skillet, heat 4 T butter to melt. Add onion, garlic, salt, and pepper and cook until softened (about 3-5 minutes). Add diced apples and sauté for 3-5 minutes. Add in fresh herbs and turn off heat.

  5. Transfer apple and onion mixture to the bread bowl and fold into bread.

  6. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, chicken broth, and salt and pepper to your liking. Pour mixture into bread and stir to coat evenly.

  7. Pour into a greased casserole dish and pour remaining butter (melted) over top.

  8. Cover with foil and bake for about 20-25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for about 10 minutes or until desired crispiness on top.

  9. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. Add freshly chopped parsley to garnish and serve!
