Apple Pecan Cornbread Stuffing

cornbread stuffing

Here is a new twist on a holiday favorite that you simply have to try! It calls for adding tasty and healthy ingredients such as apples and pecans to traditional cornbread stuffing, and results in a taste that will have dinner guests asking for seconds. If you like a bit of poultry flavor in your stuffing like we do, choose the optional poultry seasoning. And you can make the recipe gluten-free if you opt for gluten-free dry bread stuffing mix (widely available online at Amazon and other outlets).
