Not Great Stuffing

There was something not quite right about this dressing. I can’t describe exactly what it was, but there was either a little too many ingredients or there was something missing.

I am leaning to too many ingredients honestly.

I don’t think the raisins belonged in the dish. They added a sweet element that really wasn’t needed due to the apples.

The apples provide plenty of sweetness to the dressing. They cook very nicely, ending up soft.

I do think there was something missing too. Maybe some thyme or sage. . .

Again, I really can not describe why we didn’t like it. And it was the three of us in the family that didn’t care for it.
