Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

Step 1
Sautee onion and celery in butter until soft. Add apples and saute another two to three minutes. Add remaining ingredients except for liquid and cook for several minutes. Taste for seasoning.
Step 2
Add just enough of the liquid to moisten the mixture. Dressing should be somewhat dry as the apples will moisten it further as it cooks.
