Ingredients
- 7 cups cornbread cubes about 3/4 inch, store-bought is fine
- 7 cups crustless firm white sandwich bread cubes about 3/4 inch
- 1/2 cup butter divided
- 6 ounces diced pancetta
- 1 large onion chopped
- 1 large crisp apple peeled and chopped

- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 4 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
- 4 teaspoons dried rubbed sage
- 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 large eggs beaten
- 2 cups low-salt chicken broth
Instructions
- Cut and lay bread cubes out the day before to dry. (Or dry them out in the oven for 5 minutes before starting.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put the bread cubes in a large bowl.
- Melt 4 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and sauté until brown. Then add the onions and cook to soften—2-3 minutes. Add the apples and soften another 3-5 minutes. Finally add the herbs and pecans. Toss and remove from heat.
- Add 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper; stir to blend. Add vegetable mixture to bread and toss.
- Whisk the eggs and broth together and pour over the bread mixture. Toss and let it stand 5 minutes.
- Generously butter twelve nonstick muffin cups. Spoon 1/2 cup of stuffing mixture into each muffin cup. Press to compact. Mound another 1/2 cup of remaining stuffing mixture over stuffing in each muffin cup, pressing to hold shape. Bake muffins until golden, about 22-25 minutes. Cool in pan 15 minutes. Using small knife, loosen muffins and pop out of pan.
