Ingredients
- 8 Cups cubed multi-grain bread
- 1/2 Cup apple brandy or apple juice
- 3/4 Cup golden raisins
- 1/3 Cup olive oil
- 1 Large onion, chopped
- 2 Cups chopped celery
- 3 Cloves garlic, minced
- 1-1/2 Cups pecan halves, toasted and chopped

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. Arrange bread cubes in a single layer on a large roasting pan or baking sheet. Bake 25 minutes or until bread is dry, but not toasted, stirring frequently.
- Meanwhile, combine the apple juice or brandy with the raisins in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, remove from the heat and let stand 15 minutes.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery and cook 12 to 15 minutes, or until tender. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 60 seconds.
