I can't get past tradition on Thanksgiving day. I'd really miss turkey, whole cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and the sweet potato recipe that I have made for the last 48 years. Fortunately, I only ever have to make the sweet potato recipe. The meal seems off somehow if there aren't those basics.
I always get invited to someone elses Thanksgiving meal. This year the pastor invited me to come to his daughter's home. She is expecting 22 adults and 23 children... all will be sitting with silver, china... the works! I'll be bringing my favorite Thanksgiving recipe.
Scalloped Sweet Potatoes and Apples
3 baked, peeled, and sliced Sweet Potatoes (small to medium size)
2 Granny Smith Apples, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup Butter
1 teaspoon Salt
Put alternate layers of potatoes and apples in an 8” x 8” x 2” (2 liter) Corelle Ware casserole dish. Dot each layer with butter and sprinkle with salt.
Topping
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup melted butter
1/3 cup flour
In a mixing bowl combine the topping ingredients and mix well. Sprinkle over top of the casserole.
Cover and bake in a 350 degree oven until the apples are soft (about 45 minutes). Uncover and bake for about ten minutes longer.
Serves 6 to 8
