Equipment

  • 1 9x13" ceramic or glass baking dish
  • 1 2 quart glass baking dish

Ingredients

  • 12 c. gluten-free bread, cubed & dried out
  • 1 c. butter
  • 1 c. yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 1/2 c. celery, chopped
  • 2 medium sized apples, chopped
  • 1 c. dried cranberries
  • 8-10 fresh sage leaves, roughly chopped
  • 2 TBSP. dried parsley
  • 1 tsp. dried sage
  • 2 tsp. dried thyme
  • 2 tsp. dried marjoram
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • 2 c. chicken broth

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300°F. Cut up bread into about 1 inch cubes. Next, spread the bread cubes on a couple of baking sheets and toast them in the oven for about 25 minutes or until they become dried out and toasted.
  • Mix the bread cubes halfway through baking so they get toasted evenly. Transfer bread cubes to a very large mixing bowl. Set aside. Increase oven temp. to 375º F.
  • Meanwhile, in a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent. Add in chopped celery, apples, and dried cranberries. Sauté for another couple of minutes.
  • To the pot, add the chopped fresh sage leaves, dried herbs, and seasonings. Mix to combine everything well.
  • Into the large bowl with bread cubes add in the savory onion-apple-cranberry mixture. Give it a good stir until everything is combined.
  • Add in the chicken broth slowly and stir well until the bread mixture is fully coated with the chicken broth.
  • Transfer stuffing mixture into two lightly greased glass pans. A 9x13" and 2 quart baking dish. Bake covered for 20 minutes at 375º F. Take foil off of pans and gently stir to give it a good mix. Place back in oven and continue baking uncovered for another 20 minutes or until slightly toasted on the top.
