Ingredients

3 Tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
1 Vidalia onion, diced (I use my food processor)
3 Cups Apple, diced (about 2 large apples - I like Fuji)
1 Tbsp Fresh ginger, minced
1 Tbsp Ground cinnamon
1 Tbsp Ground cumin
1/2 tsp Paprika
1/4 tsp Ground allspice
1 Loaf Udi's Gluten Free Cinnamon Raisin bread, cut into 1 inch cubes *
1 1/4 tsp Sea salt
1/2 Cup Cilantro, roughly chopped and tightly packed
1/2 Cup Dried apricots, diced
1/2 Cup Golden raisins
1 Cup Reduced-sodium chicken broth
2/3 Cup Pure apple juice
1/3 Cup Roasted salted pistachios, roughly chopped

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a large casserole dish.
In a large frying pan, heat the oil on medium/high heat.
Add in the onion and cook until soft and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Add in the apple, ginger and cinnamon, cumin, paprika and allspice and cook just until the apple begins to soften, about 2 minutes.
Add the cooked apple mixture into a very large bowl. Add in the bread cubes, salt, cilantro, apricots and golden raisins. Toss until evenly mixed.
Add in the chicken broth and apple juice and gently mix (using your hands is the easiest) until the bread has absorbed the moisture.
Bake until the bread is cooked and the top is golden brown and slightly crispy, about 45-50 minutes.
Sprinkle with pistachios and DEVOUR!

Notes

*I cut each slice into 3 vertical slices then 2 horizontal, so each slice gave 9 cubes.
