4 medium sweet potatoes (2 to 2-1/4 pounds), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices |
1/2 cup orange juice |
6 tablespoons butter |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey |
1 tablespoon grated orange peel |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
topping: |
1/3 cup old-fashioned oats |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |

1/4 cup chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook sweet potatoes in boiling water until tender but still hold their shape, about 5 minutes; drain. Arrange in a buttered 2-qt. baking dish so slices overlap slightly.

3. In a small bowl, combine oats, sugar and cinnamon. Cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in pecans. Sprinkle over potatoes. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes. Yield: 8 servings.
