Fabulous!! I didn't get rave reviews on this dressing as we had SO MUCH good food, but seeing as that I prepared most of it and was especially excited to try this recipe I have to say it came out perfect. I love the sweetness and the pecans give it such a nice crunch. I changed the preperation method just a bit to suit my taste: I added the apple juice and chopped apples to the pan of butter, onion, and celery after they where done cooking and I just heated through. In addition to adding the apples, I threw in 3/4 cup of dried cranberries. I couldn't find "herb seasoned dry bread stuffing mix" so I just used poultry seasoning to taste. YUM! This will be a staple in my house from now on.

I made this recipe last Thanksgiving and this year's Thanksgiving and it was a hit. Everyone loved this dish. This dressing is so flavorful and tasty.

I think I will stick to making cornbread dressing the way my mom taught me. This was a nice experiment but it was just too sweet for our family's taste. We all missed our traditional family dressing. I wish I could share the recipe, but we don't actually use one. We just mix and season "to taste." I served this dressing to over 20 people (half children) and they all prefer a less sweeter dressing except for my one year old grandson. He loved it and even ate more for lunch the next day. Considering all the good reviews this recipe has received, I am just assuming that if you like sweeter dressing, this might be a hit at your home. It just wasn't at mine. So, I can't honestly give it a high rating.

This recipe is wonderful. I am not a dressing fan, but I really enjoyed this dish. I baked it in a 9x13 and it came out moist but not mushy. It makes a lot so I think next time I will bake it in 2 9x9's and freeze one.

Ok, I'm giving this a 4 because it's a little sweet for my tastes. I think I would prefer a traditional dressing with the apples added to it. I think the apple juice too sweet. I will try it again with stock instead of juice.

I made this last year for Thanksgiving and will definitley be making it again this year. The only change I made was using day-old bread cubes and a little poultry seasoning instead of the packaged stuff. The flavor is just what I was looking for and I love the cohesiveness of the finished product...almost like a spoon bread.

I have made this recipe several years in a row now, and it is always a favorite. My husband can't eat pecans, and it is just as tasty without the nuts. Regular dressing tastes boring after eating this because it does have a sweetness to it. I use Marie Callenders corn bread mix for extra sweetness.
