Any combination of apples, pears, or persimmons work well in this moist stuffing- add as much fruit as seems reasonable. We used pumpernickel bread, but most types of bread work nicely. Dry the bread out in your oven at the lowest possible temperature or cut the night before to dry out. Alternatively, buy already dried, oil-less croutons.
This would pair beautifully with turkey, pork or roasted chicken.
