My French Bread with Thyme and Green Apple Stuffing!

Every year people rave about this stuffing, so I just keep making it! 

It's easy and the flavor is immensely satisfying! 

Enjoy! 

Ingredients:

16 cups 1-inch bread cubes, white or whole wheat (2 baguettes)4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick)2 cups medium-diced onion (2 large)2 cups medium-diced celery (3 large stalks)
1 cup white wine2 Granny Smith apples, unpeeled, cored and large diced2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tsp thyme2 teaspoons sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chicken stock
Directions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.



Put the bread cubes on a 13 by 18 by 1-inch baking sheet and bake them in the oven for 7 minutes.

In a large saute pan, melt the butter and add the onion, celery, apples, parsley, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Saute for 10 minutes, until the mixture is soft. Pour in wine and saute until wine steams off. 

Combine the bread cubes and cooked vegetables in a large bowl and add the chicken stock. Either stuff the bird, or bake the stuffing at 350Degrees, covered for 30 mins.
