Cook this apple pecan dressing in a baking dish or in the bird.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/3 cup chopped onion
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups dry wheat bread cubes, about 8 slices
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 teaspoon ground sage
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Preparation:

In a small saucepan, combine chicken broth, celery, onion, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine bread cubes, chopped apples, chopped pecans, sage, cinnamon, and pepper. Pour broth and vegetable mixture over the bread cubes. Gently stir to moisten. Spoon into a greased 1 1/2-quart casserole. Bake, covered, at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes. May also use as a stuffing for an 8 to 10 pound turkey.

Excellent DressingOctober 20, 2007By johnsosa
"I tried this dressing to see if it was better than the family recipie that we have used forever. Everyone agrees that it is better. I will be using it for Thanksgiving. The only thing I did differently was to use white bread."
