Rice Apple Pecan Stuffing

4 - 6 tablespoons butter
2 onions, diced fine
1 apple, peeled and diced
1 cup cooked rice (I USE WILD RICE: IT'S WONDERFUL WITH THIS RECIPE)
3/4 cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons orange liqueur (or 2 tablespoons orange juice, with the grated rind of 1 orange)
salt and pepper to taste.

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in skillet; saute onion until lightly browned. Add apple and cook with onion for 2 minutes, adding more butter as needed. Remove from heat and blend in all other ingredients; taste and adjust seasoning. Cool stuffing before stuffing birds.
Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
