This easy apple and sweet potato bake, drizzled with a brown sugar and cinnamon sauce, is a natural for holiday meals. I like to serve this autumn side dish with ham, writes Heidi Grant of Orangeville, Ontario. If you wish, you can substitute two 18-ounce cans of sweet potatoes, drained. Ingredients:
2 pounds sweet potatoes |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
2 tablespoons unsweetened apple juice |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 medium apple, peeled and sliced |
Directions:
1. Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 10-20 minutes or just until tender. Drain; cool slightly and peel. Peel and cut into 1/4-in. slices.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, apple juice, salt and cinnamon; set aside. In an 8-in. square baking dish coated with cooking spray, alternately layer sweet potato and apple slices in an 8-in. square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Drizzle with brown sugar mixture.
3. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25 minutes. Uncover; bake 20-25 minutes longer or until apples are tender, basting occasionally with pan juices. Yield: 6 servings.
