This recipe was introduced to me by the Baron's Aunt Judy. I loved the combination of sweet potatoes and apples all baked together with cinnamon and nutmeg, which ties both together so well. The topping of brown sugar, PLUGRA butter, pecans and marshmallows made it more like a dessert, which is never a bad thing! I typically make half the recipe for Joel and me to enjoy but you can easily double the recipe too for other sweet potato fans!
Sweet Potato & Apple Casserole

1/4 cup all purpose flour (or GF flour blend)
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup cold PLUGRA butter, diced
1/4 cup chopped pecans

ReplyDeleteDudette isn't a fan of sweet potatoes either, unfortunately, but Hubby and I love them, especially when not overly sweet. I think your casserole sounds perfect, with the hint of tartness from the apples.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a heavenly combination! I can see it as the perfect side for Easter ham, Thanksgiving or any ol' day of the week!
ReplyDeleteThis is the perfect holiday side dish! Love the addition of apples.
