Categories     side-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 12 to 14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the bundt pan
1 1/2 cups walnuts
4 ounces sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
4 ounces hot Italian sausage, casings removed
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 Granny Smith apple, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 14-ounce package cubed stuffing mix
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
1 1/2 cups turkey or chicken stock
1/2 cup apple butter, store-bought or homemade, recipe follows
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3 1/2 pounds mixed apples, peeled, cored and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
2 cups apple cider, preferably unfiltered
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly butter a bundt pan.
  • In a dry saute pan set over medium heat, toast the walnuts until light golden brown, about 5 minutes; cool and chop.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon, until brown, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add the celery, onion, apple and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes; remove from the heat.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the stuffing mix, sage, thyme and walnuts. Mix together the stock, apple butter and egg in a separate bowl, then add it to the mixing bowl along with the sausage-vegetable mixture. Add 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and stir gently to combine thoroughly.
  • Transfer the stuffing mixture to the bundt pan and bake until hot and golden brown on top, 30 to 40 minutes. If the top starts to get too brown, cover with foil. Let rest for 10 minutes in the bundt pan, then unmold onto a serving platter.
  • Combine the apples, apple cider, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, cloves and salt in a Dutch oven or large, heavy pot and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, partially covered, until the apples are very tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Puree the apple mixture using an immersion blender or in batches in a regular blender (be careful when blending hot liquids).
  • Transfer the Dutch oven to the oven. Bake, uncovered, stirring every 20 minutes so that the bottom does not burn, until the mixture is very thick and a rich brown caramel color, about 3 hours. Let cool completely.

APPLE AND WALNUT HAROSETH



Apple and Walnut Haroseth image

This very classic Ashkenazi haroseth, which is a ceremonial part of the Passover Seder, is made from diced apple, toasted walnuts, a touch of cinnamon and a shower of sweet Passover wine. It's meant to represent the mortar used by the Israelites when they were slaves in Egypt. The sweeter the apples you use, the less honey you'll need to add at the end. But tart apples are nice here, too, as long as you balance their acidity. If you can't get Manischewitz or another sweet Passover wine, ruby port is a fine substitute. You can make this haroseth one day ahead and store it in the refrigerator; just mix it well before serving to reincorporate any liquid that might have seeped out of the mix.

Provided by Jenny

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup crushed walnuts
1 Golden Delicious apple, diced
1 cup butter, softened
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle caffeinated citrus-flavored soda (such as Mountain Dew®)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Roll 1 can of crescent rolls out on a cutting board. Make one single piece of dough by rolling the dough with a rolling pin to a 9x13-inch rectangle; make sure the seams don't separate. Repeat with remaining can of crescent rolls. Set 1 dough sheet atop the other to make a double crust.
  • Mix 1/2 cup white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, crushed walnuts, and diced apples in a bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the dough.
  • Roll the dough lengthwise, so you end up with a long tube. Cut into 1-inch slices. Place the rolls into prepared dish facing up.
  • Melt butter with 1 1/2 cup white sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until sugar dissolves completely, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and whisk citrus-flavored soda into the butter mixture; pour over cinnamon rolls.
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden brown and no longer doughy in the middle, about 30 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes. Flip the rolls out of the baking dish onto baking sheet and allow the sticky sauce to drip over the rolls.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your casserole a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
  • Don't overcook the apples. You want them to be tender but still have a little bit of bite to them. Overcooked apples will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Use fresh walnuts. Stale walnuts will not have as much flavor and will make your casserole less enjoyable.
  • Don't skimp on the spices. The spices in this recipe are what give it its flavor. Be sure to use a good quality cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • Serve the casserole warm. This is when it will be at its best. You can reheat it in the oven or microwave if you need to.

Conclusion:

Apple Walnut Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. It is also a great way to use up leftover apples and walnuts. This casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
