Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 3 medium sweet potatoes (peeled and quartered)
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 medium apples (peeled and thinly sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans

Instruction

  • Place sweet potatoes in a medium pot and cover with water. Bring sweet potatoes to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer potatoes until very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain potatoes and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Whisk melted butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Mash sweet potatoes until smooth, then mash in butter mixture. Spread sweet potatoes in a greased 9x13 baking pan.
  • Make the apples: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, saute apples in butter, sugar, and cinnamon until apples are just barely tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in pecans.
  • Spread apple mixture over top of sweet potatoes. Bake sweet potato casserole at 375F 15 minutes until heated through. Enjoy!
