How to Make Thanksgiving Stuffing

Step 1

On a large baking sheet, toast bread cubes in oven. Allow the toasted bread to sit approximately 24 hours, until hard.
Step 2

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly coat a large ovenproof baking dish (9 x 13 inch) with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 3

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the onion and celery and slowly cook until soft. Remove from heat.
Step 4

Add the eggs, chicken broth and breadcrumbs to onion mixture. Mix together thoroughly. Mix in the rubbed sage, garlic powder, walnuts, apples and pepper.
Step 5

Press the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 1 hour, or until the top is browned and crisp.
