Delicious Apple Walnut Stuffing Recipe for Main Course

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 4 cups cubed bread (preferably a day or two old)
  • 1 cup chopped apples (preferably tart varieties like Granny Smith)
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (lightly toasted for flavor)
  • 1 cup onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 cup celery (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup vegetable broth (or chicken broth for non-vegetarian option)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 cup fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Sauté Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and garlic. Sauté until softened.

    Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  3. Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine cubed bread, sautéed vegetables, chopped apples, walnuts, herbs, salt, and pepper.

    Toss gently to avoid breaking the bread.
  4. Add Broth

    Slowly pour in the vegetable broth and lemon juice. Mix until bread is evenly moistened.

    Do not oversaturate; the mixture should be moist but not soggy.
  5. Bake the Stuffing

    Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown.

    Cover with foil for the first 20 minutes to prevent over-browning.
