Directions to Make Apple Pear Stuffing: 

How to make this easy Thanksgiving recipe...

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Place all of the breadcrumbs on a baking sheet. Bake for approximately 8 minutes.

In a saucepan, melt the butter and add the spices, pepper, salt, and vegetables. Add the fruit, then saute the vegetables for about ten minutes. Add approximately 1 tablespoon of extra butter if the mixture becomes dry during heating. After ten minutes, the mixture should be soft.

Combine with the cooked bread crumbs and chicken stock. Stuff your bird as normal! This recipe should cover a 10-15 pound bird. For larger birds, be sure to double this recipe, since everyone will want seconds!
