Apple & Herb Stuffing

Jen Wiehl's Note:

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."

We really enjoyed this with a crown roast of pork for Easter dinner, however, I must say that next time I will omit the almonds as everyone at the table commented that they were just too much crunch. Otherwise, the apples provided delicious moisture to the herb stuffing and the overall flavor was delicious.

I tried this recipe for the first time, as a dry run for Thanksgiving and can only say Oh. My. God. I will never go back to Stove Top! The flavor is outstanding, and SO easy to make. Thank you SO much for showing me this recipe! It will be our new Thanksgiving tradition for sure!
