Step 1

Two days prior:
Tear bread into small pieces. Add seasoning to taste. If not sure add a little, then add more later. Toss gently, cover and set aside to dry.

To make:
Sauté celery, onion and apple in small amount of butter. Add to bread and mix gently with hands. Add hot stock to moisten bread mixture and stir to mix.

Add eggs and mix thoroughly. Add more stock to make moister. Sample and add additional seasonings as desired. Add oysters at this time if desired.

Grease 9x13x2 pan. Pour dressing mixture into pan. Cut butter into small pieces and put on top.
