Sweet Potato and Apple Bake

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup brown sugar

• 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).

2. Prepare the sweet potatoes and apples: Slice them evenly for even baking.

3. In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, brown sugar, maple syrup (or honey), cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice.

4. Layer sweet potato slices and apple slices alternately in a greased baking dish (like making a layered casserole).

5. Pour the butter–sugar mixture evenly over the top.

6. Cover with foil and bake for 35–40 minutes until the potatoes start to soften.

7. Remove the foil, sprinkle pecans or walnuts on top (if using), and continue baking 15–20 minutes until golden and tender.

8. Let stand 5 minutes before serving so the syrup thickens.

Tips

• For extra richness, add 2–3 tbsp heavy cream into the sauce mixture.

• For a brighter flavor, sprinkle lightly with orange zest before serving.

• Swap apples with pears for a softer, sweeter bake.
