Growing up in Lancaster County we ate a lot of casseroles. I still miss them sometimes, but most of them had meat and cream soups and cheese and that just makes them difficult to recreate.

Last week I had some apples and some sweet potatoes to use up and so I decided to recreate this yummy dish. The original had sausage in it which is super yummy if that is part of your diet. I tried adding some sausage spices, but didn’t come up with anything noteworthy.

Sweet Potatoes and Apples Dish

Adapted from More with Less Cookbook

2-3 medium sweet potatoes or 4-6 small sweet potatoes
2-4 apples depending on size and how much you like cooked apples

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.

Peel and slice the sweet potatoes and apples. Make sure the slices are fairly thin so everything cooks evenly. Put into a greased 2 quart casserole dish.

Make the sauce:
1/2 c water
1/4 t cinnamon
1/4 t salt
dash nutmeg
2 T coconut sugar

Pour over the sweet potatoes and apples. Cover, place in oven and bake until tender about 50 minutes.
