Apple and Cranberry Stuffing

IMG_6080Having invited lots of guests this year for Christmas dinner, it was essential to make the food as perfect as we could and one of the biggest challenges was the stuffing! Sure, you can buy gluten free stuffing on the shelves now in many supermarkets and it tastes ok, but we needed something that tasted amazing!

It took a while to concoct the perfect gluten free stuffing for this years turkey but after much trial and error we ended up with what we think is the perfect gluten free recipe, it has a prep time of around 20 minutes and a cooking time of 30 minutes and you can have every confidence that it will impress your guests.

This recipe will make around 20-25 stuffing balls, of course you can halve the mixture if you require less.
