Fall brings the new crop of apples with many choices for taste, texture and uses.  We want to share a favorite weeknight recipe that features apples and our herb of the month, thyme.  We know you will enjoy this recipe.  It goes great with pork chops or chicken.

By the way…if you aren’t sure which apples are good for your use, see Apple Usage Chart.

Quick Apple Stuffing

Makes 4 serving

¼ cup          Butter, divided

1 large          Granny smith apple, diced

½ tsp           Kosher salt

½ tsp           Onion flakes

½ cup          Apple juice (in place of some of the water)

6 oz pkg       Stuffing (such as StoveTop)

Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium sized saucepan.  Sauté the apples for about a minute.  Sprinkle with salt, thyme, garlic powder, pepper and onion flakes until apples are starting to become tender – about 2 more minutes.
