Apple Cornbread Dressing

By | December 13, 2014

Do you have your Christmas meal planned out? Still looking for that perfect dressing? This Apple Cornbread Dressing is so flavorful. My favorite thing about it is that it never gets dry. The apple juice and butter keep it nice and moist.

Apple Cornbread Dressing is by far the best dressing, I've ever had.  The apples and pecans give such great texture.   This dressing is never dry!

    This looks delicious! I love stuffing, but I always take the easy way out and use the mix from a box; but I always add things to it like leeks and craisins, so it’s only a little lazy. 😉
