Sweet but not overly so, this sweet potato and apple side dish is a delicious accompaniment to a holiday meal. Let the casserole stand for 10 minutes after baking so the juices can thicken. Ingredients:
3 cups thinly sliced peeled granny smith apple (about 1 1/4 pounds) |
1 teaspoon lemon juice |
4 small sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 2 pounds) |
1/4 cup maple syrup |
1 tablespoon butter, melted |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
cooking spray |
2 (1-ounce) slices white bread |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Combine apples and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the sweet potatoes and the next 4 ingredients (sweet potatoes through pepper). Place the sweet potato mixture in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 40 minutes, stirring after 25 minutes.
3. Place bread in a food processor; pulse 10 times or until coarse crumbs form to measure 1 cup. Combine breadcrumbs, oil, and nutmeg; sprinkle over the sweet potato mixture. Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until golden. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
