  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 loaf gluten-free cinnamon raisin bread cut into 1-inch cubes

  3. Add in the onion and cook until soft and golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add in the apple, ginger and cinnamon, cumin, paprika, and allspice and cook just until the apple begins to soften about 2 minutes.
  5. Add the cooked apple mixture into a huge bowl. Add in the bread cubes, salt, cilantro, apricots, and golden raisins. Toss until evenly mixed.
  6. Add in the vegetable broth and apple juice and gently mix (using your hands is the easiest) until the bread has absorbed the moisture.
