What a yummy change from the usual dressing. Loved the combination of apple, raisins, nuts, and seasonings. I couldn't find winter wheat bread so I used a bakery quality whole wheat bread. I placed the stuffing between thin boneless pork chops, tied them together with kitchen string,dusted them with flour, browned them on both sides in olive oil, and roasted them in a roasting pan with a splash of apple juice. Great with baked potatoes and a salad. Definitely a keeper. Will try stuffing spareribs next, and make it as a side dish for chicken too. Into my favorites binder it goes!
