Notes

Use a vegan-friendly stuffing mix
See the blog post above for suggestions about which apples to use. I love Granny Smith or Pink Ladies; but any snappy apple that holds up well in baking will do. 
Use either vegetable broth - or for a more authentic flavor, use a vegan "chicken" broth like Better than Bouillon no-chicken broth.
Use a vegan stick butt4r that you enjoy the floor of because it will come through.
If you are vegetarian then use dairy butter if that is your choice.
