Ingredients

1 lb White Bread Loaf
4 oz Butter, melted
1 c Onion, small diced
1 c Celery, small diced
2 c Granny Smith Apples
1 1/2 c Pecans, chopped
3 c Chicken Stock
1 Egg, whisked
2 Tbs Pecan Oil
1/2 tsp Fresh Sage, finely chopped
1 Tbs Fresh Rosemary, finely chopped
1/2 c Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 Tbs 44 Farms Salt & Pepper Blend

Instructions

Preheat oven to 275 degrees

Cut the bread loaf into 1 inch cubes and place on a baking tray. Drizzle with 2 Tbs pecan oil and bake in oven until slightly golden and the bread is toasted and dry, about 1 hour. Stir every 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and set the bread aside.

Increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees.

Heat 2 Tbs of canola oil in a large skillet. Sauté the onions and celery until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add in the apples and the fresh herbs and sauce another 3 minutes.

In a large bowl, toss together the toasted bread crumbs, sautéed vegetables and apples, chopped pecans, whisked egg, salt and pepper blend and chicken stock.

Butter a large baking dish and place the mixture inside and drizzle with the remaining butter.

Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Uncover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown on top.
