No holiday dinner is complete without stuffing, so we set about perfecting a recipe that we and our loved ones could enjoy year after year. This is it! When baked, it gets a decadent bread pudding texture at the bottom and becomes nice and crispy on top. We love it with mashed potatoes and Mushroom Gravy. We hope this becomes a staple on your holiday dinner table, just as it has at ours.

- Cut bread loaf into small (bite-sized) cubes. Spread bread cubes across large baking sheet and leave them out overnight or for at least 12 hours. The next day, preheat oven to 250 F and bake for 30 minutes to fully dry out bread. Grease 9 x 13 inch baking dish with vegan butter. Transfer dried bread cubes to prepared baking dish and set aside.
- In medium bowl, whisk together broth and flaxseed meal. Set aside for at least 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- In medium pan over medium-high heat, melt vegan butter. Add celery, onion, and apple and sauté, mixing occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until tender.
- Pour sautéed veggie mixture and vegetable broth mixture evenly over bread in baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with parsley and poultry seasoning. Using your hands, mix to evenly coat.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 40 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
