Apple Cranberry Stuffing

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups apple juice
2 Tbsp. butter or margarine
1 medium apple, chopped
1/2 cup craisins
1 pkg. (6 oz.) Stuffing Mix for Chicken


Directions
Bring juice and butter to boil in medium saucepan on high heat.
Stir in apples, cranberries and stuffing mix; cover.
Remove from heat and let stand 5 min.

Additional Information
This recipe originally calls for pecans. Since I do not like pecans (and I am overly cautious about putting nuts in things served at large gatherings), they get omitted. If you want, you can put them back in: 1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted, get added after the last step
