Ingredients

• 1 loaf brioche bread, cubed (about 10 cups)
• 1 cup fresh cranberries
• 1 large apple, peeled and diced
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Bread: Spread the cubed brioche bread on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
3. Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

6. Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
