 Recipe by: Midwest Living, December 1994 Preheat oven to 325 degrees.


 Spread the bread cubes in a 15 x 10 x 2-inch baking pan. Bake for 10 to 15


 minutes, or until dried, stirring twice. Or let stand, loosely covered, at


 room temperature for 8 to 12 hours. In a large saucepan, cook the onion and


 celery in the butter for about 5 minutes, or until tender. Remove from the


 heat. Stir in the apples, walnuts, raisins, salt, ginger, cinnamon and


 sage. Place the dry bread cubes in a very large bowl. Add the fruit


 mixture. Drizzle with the apple cider and enough broth to moisten, tossing


 lightly. Use less broth for stuffing inside the bird and more if the


 stuffing is to be baked in a casserole.
