    we have been making this stuffing for years, the difference being we have not used apple before, that makes a big difference, though it's good either way, delicious, thx :)))

    Used the recipe twice now looks like it will be a standard from now on. Not hard to make, almost as fast as the packet stuff but much much better.Could easily be experimented with, finely chopped mushrooms, crumbled black pudding or even add some dried packet mix ?

    Made this a couple of days in advance and was very easy to make. It was a great hit on xmas day with everyone and I will never buy supermarket stuffing again!

    I make this regularly. I roll it into balls and freeze. Then thaw out before cooking as per recipe above. All the family love it.

    I have always made my own stuffing, using the same recipe for years. Tried this one - amazing. Its the only recipe Ill ever use from now on. I used ordinary breadcrumbs, and cooked it in a shallow dish, as we like it crispy. Truly excellent recipe.

    I used this recipe for the first time last Christmas using beautiful Norfolk sausage meat and I grated the apples - it went down such a storm in our house that I'll definitely be making it again this year!

    Made this ready for Christmas day. Put it in the freezer ready for the big day :-) However, made a small burger with a bit that was left over, and it tastes fantastic. I added twice the amount of apple and sage as I like both flavours, and it worked really well. Highly recommend.

    Made this on Christmas Day 2011 to accompany the turkey. Put about a third in the turkey and the rest into a tin. Turned out great - really nice flavour. Was also really nice cold on Boxing Day with the rest of the leftovers!
