Apple stuffing is a sweet twist on a savory classic! Its fresh apple flavor pairs exceptionally well with hearty Thanksgiving dishes like turkey and sweet potato casserole—or rich pork dishes like ham or grilled pork chops.
Instructions
1
Toast the bread cubes
2
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the bread cubes on ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until toasted. Cool the bread on the baking sheets. Editor's tip: Toasting the bread cubes is the best way to prevent soggy stuffing.
3
Cook the veggies
4
In a Dutch oven, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the celery and onion. Cook and stir until tender.

Assemble the apple stuffing
6
Add the apples, apricots, parsley and bread cubes to the Dutch oven. Stir in the broth and melted butter. Then, transfer the mixture to a greased 13x9-inch baking dish. Editor's Tip: This recipe doesn't include added salt. You may not need it, especially when using salted butter and store-bought chicken broth. However, you may want to add a pinch if using salt-free or low-sodium ingredients.

Bake the apple stuffing
