TIPS

Cook a large peeled and chopped Granny Smith apple with the vegetable mixture and add a handful of dried cranberries with the broth to add a touch of sweetness to this classic stuffing (as shown in recipe image).

Make this stuffing gourmet by adding chopped roasted chestnuts and cooked, browned sausage.
