SWEET POTATO APPLE CASSEROLE

The weekend, ahhhhhh!  Nice hot weather and two days to do whatever you want.  Summertime is finally here.  Today I have a yummy recipe for you.  Granted it goes in the oven, but it is well worth it.  Great for family gatherings and picnics.  If you like sweet potatoes, and who doesn't, you will like this recipe.

SWEET POTATO APPLE CASSEROLE

6 sweet potatoes cooked and cooled
4 apples cored and cut into thick rings
2 oranges peeled and cut into thick rings
1 stick of butter melted
1 cup of brown sugar mixed with 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp nutmeg

Butter a casserole dish.  Slice the potatoes into thick slices.  Put a layer of sweet potatoes, then apples, then oranges.  Sprinkle half the brown sugar over that and pour half the butter.  Repeat with another layer.  Sprinkle with the rest of the brown sugar and pour the butter over all.

Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for about 1/2 hour or until bubbly and apples are tender.  This side dish is really great with a baked ham, grilled pork chops, baby back ribs.  Bring it to your next picnic.

Thanks for stopping in today
