When Thanksgiving rolls around and you are in the mood for something sweet and something savory at the same time and you can’t decide this dish right here will cure all of those cravings! I am obsessed with stuffing generally speaking and I am even more obsessed with this recipe! This recipe includes all of those festive fall flavors one would look for and it is sure to be a hit at any holiday gathering.

I was able to easily source the raisin pecan bread I used in this recipe from one of my favorite stores, Whole Foods. They had this available in their bakery section not the bread aisle. When I saw it, I immediately knew I needed to incorporate it into my Thanksgiving spread. It was a non-traditional bread and it sounded so intriguing to me! If you are having trouble sourcing this, you can substitute for a cinnamon raisin bread as well and add in chopped pecan pieces.

The key to this recipe is purchasing it ahead of time, cutting it into cubes the same day you get it and then placing it in a ziploc bag or tupperware for a day. You want day old bread for stuffing. You DO NOT want to use fresh bread. Your dish could come out soggy.

Now, let’s chat about the apple seasoning I used in this recipe. All The Good Stuff was so kind to send me some of their Fuji Apple Spice Seasoning to incorporate into my recipes this holiday season. I was so excited about it! It is a sweeter seasoning and the smell of it is truly so divine. It makes me feel all giddy inside. It reminds me of cinnamon sugar, thanksgiving and christmas all in one!

If you are unable to source a apple seasoning, I would substitute with cinnamon sugar. Although this is a sweeter season it is not over powering or overly sweet. It made for the perfect addition to this raisin apple pecan stuffing. It complimented the apples really well and when it got mixed into the chicken broth it was a sweet and savory dressing that really brought out the flavor in the whole dish.
