Ingredients:

6 cups (1.5 L) Dempster's Fruit & Berry Rye Bread, cubed
6 strips Maple Leaf Bacon, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 apple, cored and chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp (2 mL) each salt and fresh cracked pepper
1 cup (250 mL) chicken broth
2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped fresh thyme

Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C). Cook bacon in large saucepan over medium heat until cooked but not crisp, about 5 minutes. Stir in onion and celery and cook until onion is tender. Stir in apples, garlic, salt and pepper and cook one minute. Stir in bread, chicken broth and thyme until well combined. Transfer to a greased baking dish.
