Apple Pecan Cornbread Stuffing

Originally published Sept. 2013.

Cornbread stuffing is not something that I make often because there is rarely enough leftover cornbread to make it.

On this occasion, though, I thought about adding some pecans and apples to the recipe to serve with our Brown Sugar Pecan Glazed Pork Loin.

Easy Glazed Brown Sugar and Dijon Pork Loin

Since cornbread really takes just a few minutes to throw together, I decided it was worth the effort to whip up a quick batch. Along with some cauliflower gratin, it was the perfect accompaniment to the juicy and delicious glazed pork loin.

Cornbread fresh from the oven .

It would be equally as good served with roast chicken or turkey or even with a baked ham dinner.
