Ingredients
3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
3 apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Optional: marshmallows for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Arrange the sliced sweet potatoes and apples in overlapping layers in the prepared baking dish.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, melted butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
- Drizzle the honey glaze evenly over the sweet potatoes and apples. Use a spoon or brush to ensure all slices are coated.
- Sprinkle the chopped pecans or walnuts over the top of the casserole.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
- (Optional) If using marshmallows, remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of baking. Scatter marshmallows over the top and return to the oven until they are lightly toasted and melted.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of honey in the glaze.
Want to add a touch of creaminess? Pour a cup of heavy cream over the casserole before baking.
Don’t have pecans or walnuts? Other chopped nuts like almonds or even chopped peanuts can be used as a substitute.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
