Buttery crescent roll stuffing with fresh herbs and Autumn Glory apples, an easy, flavor-packed holiday side dish.

Ingredients

  • 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
  • ½ stick of butter or plant-based butter
  • 2 eggs (or the equivalent of)
  • 2 teaspoons chicken-style seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Fresh sage, rosemary, thyme (about 3 sprigs of thyme and rosemary and 3-4 sage leaves). Add more if desired.

Directions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350°F
  2. A day or two before making the recipe, bake croissants as directed on the packaging. Once cooked, let it sit out for a day or two so the bread dries out.
  3. In a saucepan, melt butter. Then add chopped onion and sauté for 3 minutes. Add garlic, celery, and apple. Sprinkle it with a teaspoon of salt. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Do not overcook.
  4. In a separate dish, whisk together 2 cups of vegetable broth and eggs. Pour into the saucepan with celery, onion, etc. Mix well.
  5. While things are on the stovetop, take previously cooked croissants and roughly chop them. Place in a 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 a subtler flavor, add less.
  6. Take the stovetop mixture and pour it over the croissants. Gently fold them together. Do not crush bread. You just want to moisten it with the mixture without making it too soggy.
  7. Pour into a baking dish. Sprinkle it 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.
