Time 50m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 1/2 sticks butter, softened
About 2 cups chopped celery
3 to 4 McIntosh apples, skin on, cored, quartered and chopped
1 large yellow onion, chopped or 2 medium yellow onions, chopped
Salt and black pepper
Salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons poultry seasoning
8 cups cubed stuffing mix, such as Pepperidge Farm
4 to 5 cups chicken stock, as needed
1 egg, beaten (if preparing as "Stuffin' Muffins")

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Melt 1 stick butter in the skillet. When the butter melts, add the celery, apples and onions. Season with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. Cook until the vegetables and apples begin to soften, 5 to 6 minutes.
Add the stuffing cubes to the pan and combine. Moisten the stuffing with the chicken stock until all of the bread is soft, but not wet. Let the stuffing cool either in the pan or in a bowl.
For a stuffin' casserole: Brush a casserole dish with 1/4 stick butter. Add the stuffing mixture to the dish and dot the top with the remaining 1/4 stick butter. Bake until set and crisp on top, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
For individual stuffin' muffins: Brush a 12-muffin tin with the remaining 1/2 stick of butter. Add the beaten egg to the cooled stuffing mixture. Using an ice cream scoop, fill and mound up the stuffing in the muffin tin. Bake until set and crisp on top, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the stuffin' muffins to a platter and serve hot or at room temperature.

Remove the bay leaf as you scoop the stuffing when you come upon it. Bake until set and crisp on top, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove stuffin' muffins to a platter and serve hot or room temperature.

Tips:

Use a variety of apples: This will give your stuffing a more complex flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
Sauté the onions and celery until they are soft: This will help to bring out their sweetness and flavor.
Use fresh herbs: These will add a lot of flavor to your stuffing. Some good options include sage, thyme, and rosemary.
Don't overstuff the turkey: This will help to ensure that the stuffing cooks evenly.
Bake the stuffing at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust.
