    16 oz. crusty, artisan-style bread

    1/2 lb. bacon, diced

    1-1/2 cups chopped tart apple, such as Granny Smith

    1-1/2 cups chopped celery (about 3 large ribs)

    2 cups chopped onion (about 2 medium)

    1/2 cup chopped fresh, flat-leaf parsley

    1 Tbs. chopped fresh thyme

    1 Tbs. chopped fresh sage

    3 cups low-salt turkey or chicken broth (homemade or canned)

    3/4 tsp. kosher salt, more as needed

    Freshly ground black pepper

    1/4 cup melted unsalted butter (optional)

    2 large eggs, lightly beaten

    vegetable oil or cooking spray, for baking dish

    Tear or cut the bread into 3/4-inch piece until you have 8 to 10 cups. If working a day ahead, lay the pieces out on a rack and leave them uncovered on the counter to dry overnight. Otherwise, spread the bread out on a rimmed baking sheet and bake in a 275°F oven, stirring every 10 minutes or so, until it is crisp and mostly dry; it will continue to dry a bit as it cools. Depending on how moist the bread is to begin with, oven-drying takes 15 to 45 minutes.

    In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked. Add the apple, celery, and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they're slightly softened but still have some crunch. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

    Add the bread to the large mixing bowl, along with the flat-leaf parsley, thyme, and sage, and toss well. Add salt and pepper to taste.

    Pour 2 cups of the broth over the stuffing. If the liquid isn't immediately absorbed and pools at the bottom of the bowl, you have enough; just toss the mixture occasionally for a few minutes until the liquid is absorbed. At first, the bread cubes may feel wet on the outside and still be dry on the inside, but they'll even out as the stuffing cooks.

    If the bread immediately sucks up the initial 2 cups of liquid, add another 1/2 cup of broth and taste the mixture. The bread should be moist but not soggy. Add up to another 1/2 cup of broth if necessary.

    Taste the mixture and add salt and pepper as needed. If the mixture doesn't taste as rich as you'd like, add enough melted unsalted butter to suit your taste. Once you're satisfied with the flavor of the mixture, stir in the beaten eggs.

    Heat the oven to 375° F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with oil or cooking spray. Spread the stuffing in the dish, cover tightly with foil, and bake until heated through, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until the top is lightly browned and crisp, another 20 to 30 minutes.
