Instructions
Creating Cranberry Apple Walnut Stuffing can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Bread: In a large bowl, add the cubed bread. Set aside.
3. Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté the onion, celery, and garlic until translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. Combine Ingredients: In the bowl with the bread, add the sautéed vegetables, cranberries, diced apple, and chopped walnuts.
5. Mix Liquids: In a separate bowl, combine vegetable broth, apple juice, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
6. Combine Mixtures: Pour the liquid mixture over the bread mixture. Gently stir until the bread is well-coated and the liquid is absorbed.
7. Transfer to Baking Dish: Spoon the stuffing into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
8. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to allow the top to crisp up.
9. Garnish: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
10. Serve: Serve warm alongside your favorite main dishes.
