2 loaves of bread (white & wheat), cut into cubes
6 large leeks (white & pale green parts only), cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 stick unsalted butter
4 celery ribs, sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 tsp chopped thyme
5 Granny smith apples, peeled & diced
3 cups whole chestnuts

3 eggs
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped

1
Preheat oven to 400u00b0 F. Cut X's on the flat side of the chestnuts and lay them on a baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the shells open. Peel & chop.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks, onions, celery & garlic and cook covered, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. Add apples, thyme, salt & pepper, and cook, still covered, stirring occasionally, for about another 5 minutes, until apples are tender.
4
Combine cooked fruits & vegetables with the bread, chestnuts, cranberries, sage & parsley. Whisk the eggs & cream together, and then stir them in with the mixture, along with the vegetable stock.
