    1. In a large skillet over high heat, heat butter till just golden. Add in the onions and saute/fry on high, stirring frequently, till browned, about 5 min. Reduce heat to medium and saute/fry for a further 5 min till onions are very soft. Add in the sliced garlic and saute/fry 2 more min. Add in Calvados and 1 c. chicken stock. Cook covered, on medium heat, about 10 min. Add in the apples and herbs and cook for a further 5 to 8 min or possibly till apples are tender. Cold to room temperature.
    2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Butter a casserole dish.
    3. Combine the bread, chestnuts, prunes and apple mix in a large bowl. Season with salt and plenty of freshly grnd pepper. If mix has absorbed all the liquid, add in the remaining 1/2 c. of stock.
    4. Transfer to a buttered casserole dish. Bake covered, till lightly golden brown on top and warm throughout, 30 to 40 min.
    5. This is a great stuffing for turkey but would also go well with pork.
