Ingredients

  • 1 loaf of crusty bread, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 apples, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery, cooking until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add Apples and Herbs: Stir in the diced apples, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the apples are slightly softened.
  4. Combine with Bread: In a large bowl, combine the cubed bread and the sautéed apple mixture. Pour in the vegetable broth gradually, mixing until the bread is moist but not soggy.
  5. Bake: Transfer the stuffing to a greased baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
  6. Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving. This stuffing pairs wonderfully with roasted vegetables or your favorite holiday main course.
