APPLE & HERB STUFFING
Why anyone would make Stove Top after making this, I just wouldn't understand. I made this recipe over 6 years ago and couldn't believe the ease or how it tastes! It's a Thanksgiving tradition now. I'm not a fan of apples baked in foods, but the sweetness of them is so good and gives the dish a great color. The recipe is from a cookbook called "Treasury of Christmas."

Tips:
- Prep the Apples Correctly: Ensure the apples are peeled and finely diced to achieve the desired consistency in the stuffing.
- Toast the Walnuts: Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch to the stuffing.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs, such as sage, rosemary, and thyme, provide a vibrant and aromatic flavor to the stuffing.
- Bread Cubes: Opt for day-old bread cubes as they absorb the flavors better and result in a more cohesive stuffing.
- Moisture Balance: Add chicken or vegetable broth if the stuffing seems dry to achieve the perfect moisture balance.
- Stuffing the Bird: Stuff the turkey or chicken loosely to allow for expansion during cooking and prevent the stuffing from becoming dense.
- Baking the Stuffing: If cooking the stuffing separately, bake it in a covered dish at 325°F for 30-35 minutes or until heated through.
