Cornbread Stuffing

This is a great side dish for a holiday meal or a party because it feeds a crowd.

Either homemade or store-bought cornbread will work for this recipe.  If you are making your own cornbread with a box mix, use 2 Jiffy corn muffin mixes and prepare the cornbread in a 7×11 or 9×9 inch baking dish.

The cornbread gets cut into cubes and spread out onto a baking sheet.  Then it gets baked again to dry it out, making it ideal for stuffing.

The dried cornbread gets combined with apples, sautéed celery and onions, and chicken broth.  Then it all gets spread into a large baking dish and baked until the top is golden.
