Never thought of adding cranberries and apple. My mom always made plain stuffing. I might give it a try!
I’m glad you’re open to trying it! The cranberries really add a nice touch to the stuffing. Let us know how it turns out!
This recipe is amazing! I made it for Thanksgiving and everyoneLoved it. The apples add such a nice sweetness!
I don’t know about using apples in stuffing. Seems weird to me. Traditionally it’s just bread and sausage. Where’s the authenticity?
What are you talkin’ about? Just throw in some extra sausage and call it a day. This is just fancy talk for bread mush.
Bread mush? Nah, this stuffing is bomb! You just gotta add a little seasoning, and it’s delish. 😋
I guess if you want to keep it simple, just load it up with sausage! But I think the apples and cranberries give it a nice twist. 🍏🍖
