1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped celery including some leaves
11/2 lb tart apples such as Granny Smith, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick wedges
1/3 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 lb sliced bacon
For pan sauce:
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup red-currant or apple jelly

Steps:

  • Make stuffing:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Spread bread squares in 1 layer in a shallow baking pan and bake in middle of oven until dry and lightly toasted, about 15 minutes. Leave oven on (for roast) and cool bread.
  • Cook onion and celery in butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in apples, sugar, salt, pepper, sage, thyme, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Reduce heat to low, then cook, covered, stirring, until apples are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in bread squares, parsley, and chives.
  • Make roast:
  • Set oven rack in lower third of oven. Sprinkle roast inside and out with salt and pepper and put in a large flameproof roasting pan. Mound stuffing in cavity. Wrap tips of rib bones with foil to prevent burning, then wrap meat below bones with overlapping bacon strips, securing them with wooden toothpicks.
