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.
