Apple Stuffing Recipe

Regardless of whether or not you cook your stuffing inside the turkey, no Thanksgiving dinner is complete without a side of stuffing. Most turkey stuffing consists of some type of bread (cubed cornbread or croutons, for example), aromatic vegetables like onion, carrot, and celery, and a variety of herbs, seasonings, and spices.

Every stuffing recipe is slightly different, though. Some use giblets and others don't. Some add fruit like pears or cranberries, and some add sausage. And, some stuffing recipes even replace the bread with another starch, like rice. If you're looking for a good stuffing recipe with a little twist, try this apple stuffing recipe; it sticks to the basics (it uses bread cubes and a flavorful aromatic base) but adds a natural sweetness by including cubed Granny Smith apples.

This stuffing recipe also calls for walnuts, but if you don't have any on hand (or prefer a different nut instead) feel free to substitute; hazelnuts, almonds, or pecans would be delicious as well.
