Tips:
- Use fresh, flavorful apples. Granny Smith and Honeycrisp are good choices, as they hold their shape well when cooked.
- Don't peel the apples. The skin adds flavor and texture to the stuffing.
- Use a variety of raisins. Golden raisins, dark raisins, and sultanas all add different flavors and textures to the stuffing.
- Toast the walnuts before adding them to the stuffing. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Use a good quality bread. A sturdy bread, such as sourdough or French bread, will hold up well in the stuffing.
- Don't overstuff the bird. The stuffing should be packed loosely so that it has room to expand as it cooks.
- Bake the stuffing in a covered dish. This will help to keep it moist.
- Let the stuffing rest before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
