""GOOD MORNING AMERICA" TOP STUFFINGS . . . .Rose Anne Belluso from Flemington, N.J., entered her sister Maria Vitale's recipe : This is my sister Maria's adaptation of our traditional family recipe. This stuffing is so good that we think the turkey should be the side dish and the stuffing the main event. It is the perfect combination of sweet and savory, moist and crunchy. Sometimes Maria puts the stuffing in muffin tins and we each get our own "indi" crispy on the outside, moist on the inside stuffing muffin. Sending this in will be a total surprise to my sister who would never have the notion to send it herself."

These little muffins are the best. The apples and dried cranberries really made the flavor. Also, they were fun to snack on later because you could just pick them up and eat them like a muffin. Really good!!!!
