During winter holidays when I was a kid, my Mom would make this sage apple stuffing to go with our roast turkey dinner. No matter how much stuffing she made, and how much was left over, there was never any thrown out – every scrap was thoroughly enjoyed. I’m glad I helped out in the kitchen growing up so I remember how to make it for our own holiday dinners now.
Ingredients
2 Tbsp vegan butter or margarine
1-2 onions, chopped
1 rib of celery, chopped
2 Tbsp dried sage
3 apples, diced
1 loaf leftover bread
About 2 cups water or vegetable broth or as needed
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
In a large pan over medium high heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes to soften, stirring frequently. Then add the celery, sage, salt and pepper. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, tear up your leftover bread into bite-sized chunks.
Add the apples to the onion mixture, then add everything into the bread bowl. Mix well to thoroughly combine, then pack it tightly into a glass 8×8″ baking dish greased with butter. Bake with your turkey or at 400F for 25 minutes covered in aluminum foil, followed by 20 minutes with no foil to crisp it up a bit. Stuffing keeps very well in the fridge and freezer as leftovers.
