Autumn Glory is a unique variety of apple grown and marketed in North America exclusively by Superfresh Growers®. Autumn Glory apple is very sweet and crisp with hints of cinnamon and subtle notes of caramel. Some describe it as tasting like apple sauce while others say it reminds them of cider; regardless of how you describe it, Autumn Glory apple has a flavor that will leave you reminiscing for fall. They are SO delicious!

INGREDIENTS FOR STUFFING

This recipe has simple yet tasty ingredients

Autumn Glory Apples- They add a sweetness and crunch to the recipe
Croissant bread- I love this over traditional bread for stuffing. It has a more buttery rich flavor.
Celery- This adds such a delicious flavor when cooked plus added texture
Onions and garlic- These are a must to add that extra flavor
Fresh herbs- Fresh sage, rosemary and thyme bring the flavors of fall and thanksgiving to this dish.

TIPS FOR MAKING THIS STUFFING

Cook the bread a few days in advice and let sit out to dry. This will help it maintain it’s shape and texture when cooked.

Do not overcook the apples, celery, and onions.. Simply let them cook a few minutes so they remain fresh when cooked into the stuffing

Use fresh herbs instead of dry. These will give the best flavor!

RECIPE

2 packages of crescent rolls (about 6 cups)

1 cup of celery ( about 4 stalks, chopped)

1 large yellow onion (chopped

3 cloves of garlic (minced)

2 Autumn Glory apples (cored and chopped)

2 cups vegetable broth

1/2 stick of plant-based butter

Equivalent of 2 eggs

2 tsp chicken style seasoning

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp salt

Fresh sage, rosemary, thyme, ( about 3 sprigs of thyme and rosemary and 3-4 sage leaves) Add more if desired.

DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350

A day or two prior cook croissants as indicated on packaging. Once cooked let sit out for a day or two so the bread dries out.
In a saucepan melt butter. Then add chopped onion and sauce for 3 minutes. Add garlic, celery, and apple. Sprinkle with tsp of salt. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Do not overcook.
In a separate dish mix 2 cups of vegetable broth with the ener G eggs. Pour into saucepan with celery, onion, etc. Mix well.
While things are on stovetop cooking take previously cooked croissants and roughly chop. Place in large mixing bowl and add fresh sage, thyme, and rosemary. You can decide how much of the fresh herbs you’d like. For a stronger flavor add more, for more subtle add less.
Take stovetop mixture and pour over croissants. Gently fold together. Do not crush bread. You just want to moisten it with the mixture but not get it too soggy.
Pour onto baking dish . Sprinkle with brown sugar and salt one more time. Add a dash of crushed pepper if desired. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until bread is golden and toasted
