What’s in this Apple Stuffing Recipe?
Tart, sweet apples and savory herbs add a pop of flavor and texture to this homemade stuffing recipe!
Crusty Bread: Any kind of crusty bread will do. I especially like to use this rosemary bread for an extra herb-y kick. Unsalted Butter: Helps the veggies cook without burning. Onion: Adds a sweet and earthy flavor to the dish. Celery: Adds a fresh, vegetal, salty flavor, and a nice crunchy texture. Apple: Adds a touch of sweetness and tartness. Garlic: Adds an earthy flavor and a pungent aroma. Salt + Pepper: Enhance the overall flavor of the dish. Fresh Herbs: Parsley, sage, and thyme add a fresh and herbaceous flavor to this apple stuffing. Chicken Broth: Adds moisture and umami flavor to the stuffing. Eggs: Helps bind the stuffing together.
Pro Tip: For this recipe, any apple you like will do! We especially like Honeycrisp, fuji, or gala. You can also use green apples for something more tart.
Variations on Stuffing with Apples
This herb and apple stuffing recipe is easy to adapt to your personal tastes. Try making it with sourdough bread and tart Granny Smith apples for a lighter version, or swap some of the crusty bread for cornbread for a sweeter version. Fold in some dried cranberries or chopped nuts for even more textural contrast.
