Everyone enjoyed this very much except my 8 year old (said she doesn't like cooked apples. I will definitely keep this recipe bookmarked.

We made this for a Thanksgiving "dress rehearsal" potluck party from the recipe "as-is" (no substitutions and it turned out GREAT! Our guests ate every last morsel! We made the dressing, cooked it for 30 minutes out of the recommended 60 (since it has an egg and I was reluctant to put raw egg inside the turkey, allowed it to cool, then stuffed a 17 lb bird. We cooked the bird by covering it with butter-soaked cheesecloth until the internal temperature of the stuffing and bird were above 175 (here, about 4 hours. Only 1/2 the stuffing fit inside the turkey so we cooked the leftover half the final 30 minutes and served it on the side. I tried bites of both (stand-alone cooking and inside the turkey and I think I would rate the inside-the bird version 6 stars if that was possible (stand alone would still earn 5 stars!

This stuffing is simply AMAZING. We make it every year the night before Thanksgiving, and then pop it in the oven to warm while the turkey is resting. I don't even like sage sausage, but in this recipe it is delicious! The apples and nuts make this stuffing stand out from other recipes and provide a great crunch. DEFINITELY this for the holidays!

I served this for Thanksgiving a number of years ago without having tried it first. Not having a 3-quart casserole, I used a 2-quart and a 1-quart. The 2-quarts went like wildfire. I held the 1-quart back for personal leftovers.

I fix this every year for a Christmas Eve open house and it disappears every year. One friend, who is a vegetarian, always takes some and declares it's the only meat she eats all year.

However, I only have one oven which will be filled with the turkey. Can I make it the day before and bake for 40 minutes and then heat for 20 minutes after the turkey comes out?

This dressing is awesome. I'm very picky about dressing / stuffing, but given the reviews I thought I would give this a try. The balance of sweet, savory, and textures are perfect.

I first printed this recipe in 2002 and have used it over and over. Fabulous, simple and everyone loves it. I've always made it like rachel ray, in indivdual muffins - cooks faster and easy to serve!
