For the most part, my husband and I have very similar tastes. I especially like how he’s open to trying anything and willing to venture into more exotic foods. But one common ingredient we don’t share a love with are sweet potatoes. Joel and I can eat our weight in sweet potatoes! But my husband? Oh no… he’ll politely decline any offering of such dish. Well, if you’re like me, you can appreciate Sweet Potato & Apple Casserole. Part dessert and part side dish, this cinnamon and nutmeg kissed Sweet Potato & Apple Casserole with a pecan and marshmallow topping is a great accompaniment to an holiday ham, turkey or pork roast…
3 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite sized pieces
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 large apples (golden delicious); peeled, cored and cut into bite sized pieces
Topping:
1/4 cup all purpose flour (or GF flour blend)
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup cold butter, diced
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup mini marshmallows
In your Instant Pot:
Place sweet potatoes in an IP safe steamer basket.
Secure the lid of the IP and ensure the valve is set to SEALING.
Remove steamer basket of sweet potatoes and transfer to a large mixing bowl with apples. Mix to combine and transfer to an IP safe casserole dish.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg; sprinkle over sweet potatoes and apples.
In a medium bowl, prepare the topping and combine the flour, brown sugar, butter and pecans; sprinkle over the sweet potatoes and apples. Cover with foil and place on trivet in the IP.
Secure the lid of the IP and ensure the valve is set to SEALING.
Carefully remove the casserole dish from the IP. Scatter the top with marshmallows and allow to melt. If you prefer a crunchier or browned top, place casserole dish under broiler until browned to your preference.
