Ingredients

3

tablespoons butter or margarine

1/2

cup chopped green onions (8 medium)

1

red baking apple, unpeeled, chopped

4

cups unseasoned dry bread cubes

1/2

cup raisins

Cornish game hens (24 oz each), thawed if frozen

1/4

teaspoon salt

1/8

teaspoon pepper

1/4

cup apple jelly

2

tablespoons butter or margarine

Preparation

Heat oven to 350°F. In 10-inch skillet, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add onions and apple; cook and stir until tender. Stir in remaining stuffing ingredients. In ungreased 15x10x1-inch pan, spread stuffing.

Split each game hen in half. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Place hen halves, skin side up, over stuffing. In 1-quart saucepan, melt jelly with 2 tablespoons butter over low heat; brush over hens.

Bake uncovered 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until hens are fork-tender and until juice of hens is clear when thickest pieces are cut to bone (at least 165°F).
