BAKED APPLES STUFFED WITH CRANBERRIES AND ALMONDS
Serve these tender apples with a sweet-tart filling alongside roasted turkey or pork, a delicious pairing with the apples' hint of cardamom - though you could substitute cinnamon. They make a great stuffing alternative for those who don't eat wheat or gluten. They're also tasty for breakfast, snack or dessert -- perhaps with whipped cream.

Tips
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that the stuffing cooks evenly throughout.
- Use a variety of apples and cranberries in your stuffing. This will give the stuffing a more complex flavor. Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples are good choices, as they hold their shape when cooked. Fresh or frozen cranberries can be used.
- Sauté the apples and cranberries in butter before adding them to the stuffing. This will help to caramelize the apples and bring out their natural sweetness.
- Use chicken or vegetable broth to moisten the stuffing. This will help to keep the stuffing from becoming dry. If you are using chicken broth, be sure to use low-sodium broth or dilute it with water.
- Season the stuffing with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. Common additions include poultry seasoning, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
- Stuff the turkey or chicken before roasting. If you are not stuffing a whole bird, you can bake the stuffing in a casserole dish.
- Bake the stuffing until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This will ensure that the stuffing is cooked through.
Conclusion
Baked apple cranberry stuffing is a delicious and festive side dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your stuffing turns out perfect every time.
