Cinnamon Apple Stuffing

The last couple of summers there’s been a day in our house that we’re just in the mood for Thanksgiving style food, even if it is 185° outside. Sometimes you just need it.

I was trying to figure out something to make with pork, and stuffing just sounded right! One of my favorite tastes with stuffing is cinnamon. It’s not how my family traditionally makes it, but cinnamon is SO DELICIOUS in stuffing! It adds a depth to it that makes the flavor a little more complex. I add diced apples and bacon to this stuffing as well. Really tasty!

Give it a try!

For this stuffing you’ll need:

• 16 oz Italian Bread Loaf, cubed (I ask the bakery at the grocery store to cube it for me.)
• 2 Red Delicious Apples, dices (I leave the skin on, but you an remove it if you’d like.)
• 3 Tbsp Fresh Chopped Parsley
• 2 1/2 Tsp Cinnamon
• 1 1/2 Tsp All Spice
• 1 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
• 1 Medium Yellow Onion, diced
• 2 Cups Celery, diced
• 3 Tbsp Fresh Sage Leaves, sliced
• 2 Cups Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
• 4 Strips Applewood Bacon, cooked and diced
• 2 Tsp Salt
• 1 Tsp Black Pepper
• Cooking Spray

1. Preheat the oven to 350° and spray the bottom of a 9×13 glass casserole dish.
2. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: the bread cubes, apples, parsley, cinnamon, and all spice.
3. Mix thoroughly and add to the prepared casserole dish.

4. Melt the butter in a medium sauce pan, add the onion, and cook for 3 – 4 minutes (just until translucent).

5. Add the diced celery and cook for another minute.

6. Add the sage, stir a few times to fully incorporate the sage.

7. Add the chicken broth bring to a boil, and reduce the heat.

8. Add the bacon bits, salt, and pepper and let the mixture cook for 5 minutes.

9. Remove from the heat and pour over the dry ingredients in the pan.
10. Stir well, tent loosely with tin foil and bake at 350° for 20 minutes.
11. Uncover and continue to bake for another 10 minutes.
