Categories: Side dish
Yield: 1 recipe

2 c Fresh bread crumbs
4 tb Butter
3 tb Water
2/3 c Chopped celery
1/2 c Chopped onions
1 1/2 c Chopped, peeled apples
-(about 2)
1/4 c Golden raisins
1/2 ts Baking powder
1 ts Dried rosemary
2 tb Dry Madeira or
1 tb Brandy
Salt and freshly ground
-pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 225 F
Spread the crumbs on a baking sheet and dry and toast
them in the oven 5 to 10 minutes. Melt the butter in
the water in a large skillet. Add the celery and
onions, and sauté until the onions have absorbed the
butter and are limp. Don't brown them. Add the
apples, raisins, bread crumbs, baking powder,
rosemary, and the Madeira or brandy. Season with
salt/pepper to taste and toss well with a fork. If
the stuffing seems overly dry, add an egg or a little
chicken stock. Stuff a crown roast of pork or a
turkey per your pork/turkey baking times/temps or
place in a casserole dish and bake uncovered at 325 F
until browned, about 25 minutes.
