Bulgar Wheat and Fruit Stuffing

1 1/4 cup bulgar wheat 1/2 cup apple juice 1/4 cup dried apples 10 dried apricots 1/4 cup raisins 1 8−ounce package seasoned bread stuffing 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts or pecans 1/2 to 3/4 cups fat−free and low sodium chicken broth Salt and pepper for seasoning Bring 2 quarts of salted water to a boil. Add the bulgar wheat, bring back to a boil. Lower heat just enough so that the pot doesn't spill over and cook for 15 minutes. While the bulgar is cooking, pour the apple juice into a micro−safe measuring cup. Chop the apples and apricots. Add the apples, apricots and raisins to the apple juice stirring to combine. Microwave at full power for 1 minute and set aside. Drain the bulgar wheat and return to the pot. Stir in the bread stuffing, apples, apricots, raisins and pine nuts. Stir in just enough chicken broth to moisten the bread. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat in the microwave for 3−4 minutes. The stuffing can be made 2 days ahead and stored in the refrigerator.

Hands down, most DELICIOUS way to eat a caramel apple. The combo of sweet, crunchy, tart, salty is to die for. We prefer to omit the chocolate. You really just need to strategically place a few large grains of the salt on the caramel. That is A LOT of salt on the apples that are pictured. Fleur de sel is always a treat, if you have it. And always use a tart variety apple, NEVER Red Delicious. Was this review helpful? [ YES ]
