My cousin, Ann Smith, gave me the recipe for this wonderful dish, which makes traditional Thanksgiving sweet potatoes a bit more special, writes Sarah Joyce of Bedford, Texas. Apple slices and a crunchy pecan topping dress up the seasonal spuds. Ingredients:
2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 3 medium) |
2 medium apples, peeled and cored |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup chopped pecans |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice |
1/2 teaspoon orange extract |
2 tablespoons butter |
Directions:
1. Place sweet potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil; cook for 20-25 minutes or until tender. Drain and cool.
2. Peel potatoes and cut into 1/4-in. slices. Place in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Cut apples into 1/4-in. rings; cut in half. Arrange over sweet potatoes. Sprinkle with lemon juice.
3. Combine the brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and orange extract; sprinkle over apples. Dot with butter. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until apples are tender. Yield: 7 servings.
