I love stuffing. It might be the best part of Thanksgiving. Especially if it is sausage stuffing. Maples sausage. Cornbread stuffing. With apples. The options are endless! But that is my favorite. I was putting together a Friendsgiving and wanted to put together mini bites for the event so there could be a lot of mingling and chatting. Not so much a sit down dinner.
I was trying to make it a Thanksgiving theme of small bites and appetizers so it felt like Thanksgiving, but not as traditional. I knew that stuffing had to be a part of the menu. But then I found the cutest little apples and I thought, instead of putting the apples in my stuffing, why don’t I make the apples the bowl? They are mini, adorable, and my stuffing would still get the apple flavor and then they could eat it too!
I did learn a lesson that I need to share with you. I chose red apples for a reason, because they are beautiful and would look nice on the tablescape. However, I did submerge my apples after coring into water, but I should have added lemon to keep them from turing brown in the oven. One or two stayed reddish, but they would have looked so beautiful if they all stayed red. Lesson learned and you can learn from my mistakes. I still think they looked good, and of course they were a huge hit! They were my favorite part of my menu.
