Cranberry Cosmic Crisp® Apple Sourdough Stuffing 

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup salted butter
  • 1 Cosmic Crisp® Apple, diced
  • 1 cup diced sweet onion
  • ½ cup diced celery
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh sage, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • Generous pinch salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1 lb dried sourdough bread cubes
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 egg

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Heat a medium pot over medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter melts, add the apple, onion, and celery. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until onion is mostly tender but apple still has some bite, about 5-8 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic and herbs and sauté another 1-2 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, to taste. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly, then add to a large bowl along with the bread cubes and cranberries.
  4. Whisk the egg and stir with the broth. Drizzle the broth over the bread cubes and gently toss to coat the bread and combine all ingredients. Add another ½ cup or so of broth if needed to wet the bread just enough to ensure none of the cubes are dry to the touch.
  5. Transfer the bread mixture to a large baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until the bread is fluffy and the edges are golden brown and crisp as desired.
