This apple stuffing recipe captures all the savory character of a traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/thanksgiving-stuffing\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/thanksgiving-stuffing\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">stuffing<\/a> recipe: buttery, toasty bread cubes and aromatic, herbaceous celery, onion and parsley. But adding apples and dried apricots introduces a fresh, sweet-tart character. It&#8217;s the perfect side dish for Thanksgiving turkey and sweet potato casserole, and the apple-rich stuffing also pairs well with pork dishes like ham, grilled pork chops or roasted pork loin.<\/p>\n<h2>Apple Stuffing Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cubed bread:<\/strong> We use a combination of hearty whole wheat and tender <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/mom-s-italian-bread\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/mom-s-italian-bread\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Italian bread<\/a>. If you want to substitute another type of bread (or store-bought stuffing cubes), you&#8217;ll need 10 cups total.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Apples:<\/strong> The flavor of the apple drives the stuffing&#8217;s final taste, so use any apple you enjoy eating. Tart Granny Smith or sweet-tart Pink Lady apples keep the stuffing on the savory side. Crunchy Honeycrisp apples create a dish that leans into the sweetness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Apricots:<\/strong> Dried apricots add a sweet, chewy element. If you can&#8217;t find apricots, feel free to omit them or substitute another type of dried fruit, like raisins or cranberries.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Celery and onion:<\/strong> These aromatic vegetables boost the savory character of apple stuffing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Parsley:<\/strong> Fresh herbs are always a welcome addition to stuffing recipes! We don&#8217;t recommend substituting dried parsley, as it has a dustier flavor that won&#8217;t add much to the stuffing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chicken broth:<\/strong> Homemade chicken broth (or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-turkey-stock\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-turkey-stock\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">turkey stock<\/a>) creates the most flavorful stuffing, but store-bought broth works in a pinch. To make vegetarian apple stuffing, use vegetable broth instead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> Butter adds richness to stuffing recipes like apple stuffing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Toast the bread cubes<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2014214\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Apple-Stuffing_TOHVS24_138519_MR_06_28_1.jpg\" alt=\"overhead shot; white background; Placed bread cubes on ungreased baking sheet in a baking tray;\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F.

The apples can become soggy when reheated, causing the stuffing to lose its crisp texture.

Try Granny Smith, Pink Lady, Honeycrisp or Braeburn. Avoid Gala, McIntosh or Red Delicious apples, which can become soft or mealy when baked.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you need to peel apples for stuffing?<\/h3>\n<p>You can make apple stuffing with peeled or unpeeled apples; it&#8217;s a matter of personal preference. Unpeeled apples provide a pop of color and a pleasant texture to stuffing, whereas peeled apples create a smoother, softer texture.

Almost any type of bread works in stuffing recipes, and each brings a different flavor profile to the dish. Use neutral-tasting French or Italian bread, hearty whole wheat, sweet challah, earthy dark rye or tangy sourdough for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/amber-s-sourdough-stuffing\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/amber-s-sourdough-stuffing\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">sourdough stuffing<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple stuffing is a sweet twist on a savory classic!
