Ingredients

• 4 cups French bread, cubed and staled
• 4 cups cornbread, cubed and staled
• 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup apple juice
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup onion, diced

• 2 cups Braeburn or Granny Smith apple, peeled, diced
• 1 cup golden raisins
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh sage
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F; coat a 9 x 13" baking dish with nonstick spray.

Mix together the bread cubes, broth, apple juice, and eggs in a bowl.

Saute onion and celery in butter in a nonstick skillet over medium high
heat until soft, about 3 minutes. Add onion mixture and remaining ingredients to the bread cubes. Mix well, then loosely mound into prepared baking dish. Bake until top is golden, about 45 minutes.
