For one, it has corn syrup!? Not to mention a few other ingredients I don’t wish to eat! But over the years I have come to actually like eating stuffing at Thanksgiving, and this is one of my favorites!
How to Make Apple Walnut Stuffing
3 T Butter
1 onion- chopped
5 cloves garlic- minced
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 large apples
1 large loaf stale bread- such as french or Italian
1 – 1.5 cups stock
1 tsp fresh thyme
1-2 T fresh, chopped sage
dash of cinnamon
salt and pepper to taste
In a large bowl, break your bread into small pieces- about 1 inch cubes. If your bread is fresh you can cut it and stick it in the oven for a few minutes to toast up. Set it aside while you prepare the rest.
Chop the onion, mincing the garlic, and peeling and chopping the apples.
Heat a skillet to medium and add the butter. Once it’s melted add the onions, garlic, apples, cinnamon and salt/pepper to taste.
Saute them until the onions are translucent and the apples are softening.
Stir in the thyme, sage, walnuts and 1 cup chicken stock.
Add the contents of the pan to the bread cubes and stir with a fork to combine.
The bread should be pretty wet, you might need the additional 1/2 cup of stock depending on the size of your bread loaf.
Pour into a greased 9×13 pan and bake at 350 for 30 minutes until it is crunchy on top and hot all the way through. Serve warm.

I’ve been looking for a stuffing for Thanksgiving. This might be the one! I love all the flavors you used :)
I hope you like it! The apples and cinnamon really add a nice layer or flavor!
I did not grow up with stuffing and haven’t made any yet myself. But apple and walnut sounds so good, maybe it is time to try!
OH.MY.WORD. This sounds and looks amazing!!!
Sounds yummy and loks easy. My mom makes a wonderful stuffing but I can’t replicate it. Her’s is super complicated. this one looks lovely and doable. Thank You.
It sounds really good, especially with the apples and walnuts. You are right about Stove Top, it is really yucky.
I bet this smells and tastes amazing! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Pinned! :)

I love homemade stuffing, particularly those that use fruit and nuts. Your Apple and Walnut Stuffing sounds scrumptious! Thank you for sharing it with us at the Hearth and Soul hop. I’ve pinned and shared it :-)
