Stuffing. True story- I used to skip the stuffing at Thanksgiving… I know, I know- weird. Actually, being that I needed to be eating gluten-free (and didn’t know it) and stuffing is loaded with the gluten goblin, it’s probably better that I didn’t load it up on my plate like most. But as I became a big kid and started hosting Thanksgiving, I started including stuffing on my Thanksgiving menu but experimenting with ways that I loved it and could eat it safely.
So naturally for me, that means adding something sweet and using gluten-free stuffing mix. I often add cranberries, which is pretty delish, but this year I wanted to mix it up and swap out the cranberries for the most delicious dried cherries from Graceland Fruit! Sorry to say mister cranberry, but I think these cherries take this stuffing to a whole new level and may take a permanent spot in my stuffing recipe from now on!
This Cherry Apple Stuffing is sure to be a favorite side at your feasts this week, but I also think that it would make a great side dish all year round. It’s savory and sweet, and actually come to think of it, you could add some vegan sausage to it and have a delicious casserole dinner any time!
Let’s take a peek at what all goes into this Cherry Apple Stuffing!
That’s it! Super flavorful and so easy to make. My favorite part of this stuffing was by far the cherries. I probably could have eaten the whole bag before I added them into the recipe. They only have 3-ingredients, they’re non-GMO, Gluten-free, and contain no artificial flavors. You can now buy Graceland Fruitat select Target stores too!
I hope you and your family love this version of an old time favorite. I would love to see your recreations and how your family is enjoying this Cherry Apple Stuffin, so be sure to tag me on Instagram or Facebook! This holiday season, and every season, I wish you…
