Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Finely chop the onion.
- Peel, core, and finely chop the apple.
- Chop the fresh thyme and parsley.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl and set it aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onion, bread crumbs, chopped apple, fresh thyme, and parsley. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
Pour the beaten egg over the mixture and stir until combined. The egg will help to bind the stuffing together.
Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
Grease a baking dish with butter or oil. Transfer the stuffing mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it out evenly.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious apple and thyme stuffing as a delightful side dish!
Tips:
- Choose a firm, tart apple like Granny Smith for a nice contrast to the sweet and savory flavors.
- To save time, use store-bought bread crumbs or prepare them a day ahead.
- For a richer flavor, sauté the onion in butter until it becomes golden and caramelized.
- Make sure to use fresh herbs for the best aroma and taste.
- If you prefer a moister stuffing, add a splash of chicken or vegetable broth before baking.
Congratulations! You've successfully made a savory and fragrant Apple and Thyme Stuffing. This delightful side dish is perfect for holiday feasts or any special meal. The harmonious blend of sweet apples, fresh herbs, and buttery breadcrumbs will surely elevate your dining experience. Enjoy your delicious creation!
