Preparation

Step 1

chop up the bread of your choice for this recipe. i like to use baguettes, ciabattas or a nice multi-grain loaf. even just sliced sandwich bread works great. make sure the cubes you make are fairly small, otherwise they might not absorb all the moisture and remain chewy instead of soft.

lay on a baking tray and toast at 350F for about 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. then set aside

in the meantime, shred the carrot and chop the celery, apple and onion. i leave the apple skin on, but you can peel it if you’d like.

in a large pot, heat the olive oil over high heat. toss in the fruit and veggies and simmer for a few minutes until soft. toss in the vinegar, salt and seasonings and cook another few minutes.

pour in the vegetable broth and cook until it bubbles, then cut the heat. stir in the brown sugar, then pour in the toasted bread cubes and stir until saturated.

if you prefer a crunchy stuffing, spoon into a lightly greased baking dish and bake at 350F for about 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
