Ingredients

12 oz dried bread crumbs like the ones they sell around the grocery store in little bags this time of year
3 tablespoon butter
2 apples I used honey crisp
3 ribs of celery
1/2 yellow sweet onion
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup sweetened dried cranberries
2-3 cups chicken broth
1 egg

Instructions

Measure and set aside bread crumbs
In large skillet over medium high heat melt 3 tablespoons butter
Peel and core apples and dice into bite sized pieces
Peel onion, cut in half and then slice into thin pieces
Slice celery ribs
Add apples, onion and celery to melted butter in skillet and sauté for 6-8 minutes until they start to turn golden brown
Add seasonings and continue to sauté for another minute or 2
Remove from heat and add breadcrumbs and cranberries to skillet
Slowly add broth a little at a time until all breadcrumbs are moistened but not soggy
Whisk together egg and stir into mixture
Transfer to slow cooker that has been sprayed with nonstick spray
Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-6 (until egg has fully cooked and texture is to desired crunchiness)

Notes

I cooked this on high for 2.5 hours in my 4 quart round slow cooker
