Instructions

Dice the celery, apple and onion.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add butter, celery, onion and apple. Saute until the onion is translucent.
Remove from heat and add poultry seasoning. Mix well.
Transfer mixture to the large bowl. Add bread cubes, dried herbs, cranberries and stock. Mix everything together well.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and grease a 9×13 casserole dish with a little butter or cooking spray.
Place stuffing mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and crisp on top, about 45 minutes.

Notes

Any leftover stuffing should be stored in the fridge in an airtight container or covered tightly with plastic wrap. It will last for about five days.

I love to use French bread for this stuffing, but you can use any kind of bread you like best. If you are looking for a low-carb option, you could also try my keto stuffing recipe.

When making a homemade stuffing, using slightly stale bread or day-old bread will give you the best results. If the bread is still quite fresh, you can also toast it. Place a single layer of bread cubes on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for just a few minutes, watching carefully, until they dry out.

Check the bakery section of your local grocery store for bags of unseasoned stuffing cubes and save yourself some prep time.
