Oh, stuffing. You are, by far, my most favorite Thanksgiving side dish.
I think if you handed me a bowl of stuffing and that was it, I would probably be satisfied.
And my stuffing MUST include apples. It just has to. This is non-negotiable. And this time, it also includes another Thanksgiving favorite of mine, cranberries!
Ingredients
- 4 cups whole wheat bread, cubed
- 4 cups white bread, cubed
- 1 tbs. olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
- 2 tsp. chopped fresh sage
- 1 tsp. chopped fresh thyme
- 3 apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/2 cup fresh cranberries, roughly chopped
- salt to taste
- 2 tbs. butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spread cubed bread out on a baking sheet. Bake for about 5 minutes or until the bread is lightly toasted. Scoop the toasted bread into a large bowl and set aside.
- In a sauce pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Saute the onion for about 5 minutes or until translucent. Add in the sage and thyme and cook for another 2 minutes.
- In the bowl with the cubed bread, add the onion mixture, diced apples and cranberries. Mix well. Pour in the chicken broth and mix until the bread is moistened. Add in salt to taste.
- Pour the mixture into a large baking dish. Chop the butter into small cubes and distribute evenly over the stuffing. Cover with foil.
- Bake for about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and cook for another 15 minutes.
