Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat the bottom and sides of a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large skillet, add the butter and melt over medium heat. Add the celery, onions, thyme, sage, scallions, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until the onions and celery are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds to a minute. Transfer the vegetables to a large mixing bowl.
- To the bowl of veggies, add the stuffing mix, walnuts, parsley, cranberries and apples and mix well. Add 2 1/2 cups of the stock, tossing well to coat and soak all of the cubes. If more stock is needed, add it splash by splash. There should be no liquid pooling in the bottom of your bowl.
- Scoop the stuffing mixture into the prepared loaf pan and press down firmly to pack it. Cover the pan with foil, place on a sheet pan and bake for 1 hour. Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Remove the foil and continue to bake until golden brown on top, 25 to 30 more minutes.
- Dig in warm or allow to cool slightly and turn out onto a plate to serve. Or allow to cool completely, then cut into 1-inch-thick slices with a serrated knife and toast in a pan with butter.
MEATLOAF STUFFING
I get bored of regular red sauce meatloaf. I've combined my version of holiday stuffing and turned it into a meatloaf. This alternative is delicious and full of veggies and apples. Instead of using bread crumbs, crackers, or oatmeal, try Pepperidge Farm® Herb Seasoned Stuffing! Perfect for fall-winter comfort-style dinners. Pairs well with traditional mashed potatoes and dinner rolls. After experimenting several times over the course of a few years, I've come up with what I call 'Meatloaf Stuffing'. You can use ground beef if meatloaf meat is not available. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
- Use Fresh, Quality Ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your mini meatloaves will taste. Choose fresh, ripe apples and ground beef, and use high-quality spices and seasonings.
- Don't Overmix the Meat Mixture: Overmixing the meat mixture can make the meatloaves tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Form the Meatloaves Gently: When forming the meatloaves, be gentle so that you don't compact the meat too much. This will help to keep them tender.
- Cook the Meatloaves Thoroughly: Make sure to cook the meatloaves until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). This will ensure that they are safe to eat.
- Let the Meatloaves Rest: After cooking, let the meatloaves rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help them to retain their juices.
