sweet potatoe and apple casserole

Ingredients:

• 6-8 medium sweet potatoes or yams
• 6-8 apples, sliced
• Optional-1/4 c brown sugar (topping)

Sauce:

• 1 cup sugar
• 4 T corn starch
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 cups water
• 1 stick of butter

·         Instructions:

·         Bake sweet potatoes until about half done.  When cool enough to handle, peel and cut into 1/2 inch slices.  Peel apples and cut into 1/4″ slices.  To make sauce, place dry ingredients in a sauce pan, then add water.   Bring mixture to a boil.  When thickened, add butter and stir until it is combined.  In a buttered casserole dish, place a layer of sweet potatoes, then a layer of apples, and cover with half the sauce.  Repeat, ending with sauce.  Sprinkle brown sugar on top, if desired.  Cover and bake at 350° until apples and potatoes are tender (about 40 minutes).  Yum!
