Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 medium apples (e.g., Honeycrisp or Fuji)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.75 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1/4-inch thick slices. Peel, core, and slice the apples into similarly sized pieces.
Arrange the sweet potato and apple slices in the prepared baking dish, layering them evenly.
In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Stir in 1/2 cup of the brown sugar, heavy cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until combined. Remove from heat and pour this mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes and apples.
In a small bowl, mix the oats, flour, remaining 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and salt. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter into small cubes and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend it into the oat mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the oat crumble evenly over the sweet potatoes and apples.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy this dish warm as a side or a dessert!
