Apple Cider and Sage Dressing Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large saucepan, on medium-heat, sauté the onions and celery in 2 tablespoons of butter until they are translucent. Add the garlic and dried rosemary and cook for about 2 minutes. Do not brown the garlic. Add the apple cider and chicken broth, bring to a simmer and turn off heat. In a large mixing bowl, add the stuffing mix, the sage, and pour over the hot cider mixture. Mix with a spatula to combine. Wipe out the saucepan with a paper towel, and melt 2 tablespoons of butter over high-heat until the butter foams and begins to turn tan, add the apples and sauté until the edges slightly caramelize, about 3 minutes. Add apples to the mixing bowl and stir in until combined. Grease a glass or ceramic baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter and spoon in the dressing. Spread evenly and bake at 375 degrees F for 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
