Sweet Potato and Apple Casserole

Place peeled and sliced sweet potatoes in a large saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and parboil until slightly tender, but firm (about 15 minutes). Drain off the water.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a 7″ x 11″ baking dish, or an equivalent sized dish.

In a medium bowl mix brown sugar and cinnamon. If you don’t care for cinnamon it can be omitted. Toss this with the parboiled sweet potatoes and the sliced apples. Place in prepared baking dish.

Combine the topping ingredients in a medium-sized bowl, cutting the butter into the mixture so it all resembles small peas. Sprinkle over the sweet potato mix.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until lightly browned and bubbly.

Serve immediately.

NOTE:
– Any cooking apples will work, such as Granny Smith, Gala, Rome, Honathan or golden delicious.

Leftover fried sweet potatoes also work very well in this recipe.
