SKILL LEVEL
Beginner
Ingredients:
- 6 tbsp Mazola canola oil, divided
- 3 large onions, halved and thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 8 cups day-old rustic bread, cubed
- 2 cups celery, diced
- 1 cup white onion, diced
- 2 red apples, chopped
- 2 tsp dried sage
- 1 ½ cups chicken or vegetable broth
Instructions:
- Heat 3 tbsp Mazola canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 3 cups of onions, thyme, brown sugar and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
- Cook until golden, about 40 minutes total, stirring occasionally to let onions brown, but not burn. After the first 20 minutes of cooking you can lower the heat a bit, and add a drizzle more of oil.
- Once onions are deep golden brown, add vinegar, increase heat to high and cook, scraping up the browned bits, until the vinegar evaporates, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- To a large pot, add 3 tbsp Mazola canola oil. Add celery, the rest of the diced onion, apples, sage and salt. Reduce heat to medium and cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples and onion start to soften.
- Add bread, caramelized onions and broth and gently stir until combined.
- Transfer to your prepared baking dish. Cover with foil.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then uncover and continue baking for about 15 minutes, until the top is crispy.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
