APPLE AND ONION STUFFING



Apple and Onion Stuffing image

A Thanksgiving Tradition in the home of Rachael Ray. **NOTE**I tried Rachael Ray's stuffing on Thanksgiving of 2006....It was okay, but not one I would make again. My tastes do not favor fruit in the mix. Maybe if I added my standard sausage mix to the recipe it would have survived the test and made a permanent place in my recipe files.

ONION AND APPLE STUFFING



Onion and Apple Stuffing image

I took this to my boyfriend's work Thanksgiving supper the first year he worked there. Now I get requests for this stuffing every year. I grew up with very different Thanksgiving stuffing so this is great for when I'm in the mood for something a little more traditional but still a little unique.

Time 1h

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 12

cooking spray
½ cup butter, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium Granny Smith apples, cored and diced
1 medium red onion, diced
4 stalks celery with leaves, diced
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 (6 ounce) package cornbread stuffing mix
3 cups water, divided
1 (6 ounce) box turkey stuffing mix
2 cups chicken broth, or more as needed
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Put butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. When butter has melted, add apples, onion, celery, and garlic; let sweat for 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine cornbread stuffing mix, 1 1/2 cups water, and 2 tablespoons butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high power for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the microwave and fluff with a fork. Repeat with turkey stuffing mix, remaining 1 1/2 cups water, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
  • Combine softened apple-vegetable mixture and both stuffings in a large bowl; stir until everything is mixed together. Add 2 cups broth and stir again; it needs to be wet but not soupy. Add more broth (up to 1 cup) if needed. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the top is slightly crunchy and the stuffing looks a lot drier than it did going into the oven, about 35 minutes. If more time is needed, bake in 10-minute increments.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your dressing a more complex flavor. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Don't peel the apples. The skin adds flavor and texture to the dressing.
  • Use fresh herbs. They will give your dressing a more vibrant flavor. Some good choices include thyme, sage, and rosemary.
  • Don't overcook the dressing. It should be cooked until the apples are tender but still hold their shape.
  • Serve the dressing warm or at room temperature. It can be served alongside turkey, chicken, or pork.

Conclusion:

Apple and onion dressing is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover bread and apples, and it is a perfect side dish for Thanksgiving dinner.
