Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your stuffing a complex flavor and texture. Granny Smith apples are a good choice because they hold their shape well when cooked. You can also use Honeycrisp, Braeburn, or Pink Lady apples.
  • Don't overcook the apples. You want them to be tender, but not mushy. Cook them for about 5 minutes, or until they are just starting to soften.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs will give your stuffing a more flavorful taste. Sage is a classic herb for stuffing, but you can also use thyme, rosemary, or marjoram.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make stuffing. You can add other ingredients, such as nuts, cranberries, or sausage. You can also change the flavor of the stuffing by using different herbs or spices.
