Instructions
- Saute onions, apples and celery in butter until tender in a large pot.

Notes
- Choosing the Stuffing Mix. Any brand or type will work so be sure to choose your favorite! We will be adding other ingredients to make it taste better but it's an important building block so make sure it's good.
- Adjust the Moisture. You can add more liquid to the stuffing if you prefer your stuffing a bit more moist. We recommend adding water rather than more broth as the additional broth may make it too salty.
