Ingredients

¼ cup butter
2 cups chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
2 medium apples, cored and chopped
1 cup dried cranberries
2 cups Kitchen Basics® Original Chicken Stock
2 teaspoons McCormick® Sage, Rubbed
2 teaspoons McCormick® Parsley Flakes
1 teaspoon McCormick® Garlic Salt
½ teaspoon McCormick® Black Pepper, Coarse Grind
8 cups cubed day-old Italian or French bread

Directions

Melt butter in large skillet on medium heat. Add celery and onion; cook and stir 5 minutes or until softened. Stir in apples and cranberries.
Spray inside of slow cooker with no stick cooking spray. Add stock and seasonings; stir to blend. Stir in bread cubes and vegetable mixture. Cover.
Cook 3 hours on LOW or until desired texture.

Test Kitchen Tips:

For best results, use crisp sweet-tart red apples, such as Empire, Baldwin or Honeycrisp.

For moister stuffing, increase chicken stock to 3 cups.

For drier stuffing, allow bread cubes to air-dry overnight.

Optional Ingredients:

Cook 1/2 pound crumbled sausage with the celery and onion.

Add 1/2 cup chopped pecans when adding the apples and cranberries.
