TIPS AND TRICKS
For best results, use crisp sweet-tart red apples, such as Empire, Baldwin or Honeycrisp.
For moister stuffing, increase chicken stock to 3 cups.
For drier stuffing, allow bread cubes to air-dry overnight. Optional Ingredients:
Cook 1/2 pound crumbled sausage with the celery and onion.
Add 1/2 cup chopped pecans when adding the apples and cranberries.
