Ingredients

  • 2 loaves gluten-free bread, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 3 large apples - peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
  • 2 cups chopped celery
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning, or more to taste
  • 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Method

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
  • Spread bread cubes onto 2 baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until completely dry, about 2 hours. Transfer bread cubes to a large bowl.
  • Melt 1/2 cup butter in a large saucepan over medium heat; saute onions, apples, and celery, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Add chicken broth and poultry seasoning and simmer until flavors blend, about 5 minutes. Pour mixture over bread cubes and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for liquid to absorb, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Remove cover from bowl and transfer bread cube mixture to a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Drizzle 1/2 cup melted butter over bread cube mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
