Ingredients
Topping:
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Boil sweet potatoes in a large pot until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well. In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, apples, brown sugar, maple syrup, melted butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix gently to coat.
- Spread mixture evenly into prepared baking dish.
- In a small bowl, stir together pecans, brown sugar, and melted butter. Sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
- Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, until apples are tender and the pecan topping is golden brown.
Notes
- Choose apples that hold their shape, like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
- Don’t overboil the sweet potatoes! Fork-tender is perfect already.
- Spread the topping evenly for a consistent crunch.
- Let rest 5–10 minutes before serving to set. This allows everything to settle perfectly!
