WALNUT-APPLE
STUFFING
Makes 6 to 8 servings
6 cups firmly packed diced
whole grain bread
2 ½ tablespoons margarine
1 ½ cups chopped red onion
1 ½ cups peeled, diced tart
apple
3 bunches scallions, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh
parsley
½ teaspoon each: dried thyme,
savory
3/4 teaspoon seasoned salt,
more or less to taste
3 tablespoons currants
freshly ground pepper to taste
1 ½ cups Light apple juice
Preheat the oven to 350
degrees.
Place the diced bread on a
baking sheet. Bake 10 to 12
minutes, or until dry and lightly
browned. Heat the margarine in
a large skillet. Add the red
onion and saute over moderate
heat until golden. Add the apple
and saute for another 5
minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the
bread cubes with the onion and
apple mixture. Add all the
remaining ingredients except the
apple juice and toss together.
Sprinkle in the apple juice
slowly, stirring at the same time
to moisten the ingredients
evenly. Transfer the mixture to
an oiled shallow l ½-quart
baking pan.
Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until
browned and still slightly moist.
Stir once during the baking
time.
