I'm interested to see how this actually tastes. 
per serving (1 cup): 108 calories, 1g fat, 206mg sodium, 24g carbs, 4.25g fiber, 12g sugars, 3g protein (Yields: 8 Servings)

Ingredients

6 slices light bread (40-45 calories each with at least 2 grams fiber per slice)
4 cups chopped Fuji apples
2 cups chopped sweet onion
1 cup chopped celery
1/3 cup fat-free chicken broth, room temperature (plus extra if needed)
1/4 cup raisins (not packed)
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1/4 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute
1 tbsp ligh whipped butter or light buttery spread
1 tbsp minced shallots
1 tsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp salt
Salt and black pepper, to taste


Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350ºF
Lightly toast bread slices. Cut into cubes and set aside.
Melt butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Once butter has melted, add celery, onion, shallots, garlic and salt. Saute veggies for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove pot from heat and add apples, raisins, and parsley. Mix well. Add broth and egg substitute, and stir thoroughly.
Spray a medium baking dish with nonstick spray. Transfer veggie mixture from the pot to the baking dish Add bread cubes and fold in gently. The bread cubes should be moist but not saturated. Add a few extra tablespoons of broth to coat, if needed.
Let stuffing mixture sit at room temperature for several minutes, allowing bread cubes to absorb some of the moisture.
Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and, using a fork, gently fluff and rearrange stuffing. Return to oven, uncovered. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until top is golden brown.
While stuffing is still warm, mix gently. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Devour!
