Sweet Potatoes and Apples

This is a recipe that I got from the Lazo's. We ate this when we went over to their house on Thanksgiving. Now, I am not a sweet potato fan, but these were the best sweet potatoes I have ever eaten so I am going to share the recipe with you all.

Ingredients:

6 medium sweet potatoes, peeled
2 medium, tart apples, peeled, cored and cut into rings
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons unsweetened apple juice
2/3 cup finely crushed gingersnap cookies (about 10 cookies)

1. Place the sweet potatoes in a Dutch oven; cover with water. Cover and bring to a boil; cook for 30 minutes or just until tender. Drain; cool slightly. Peel the potatoes and cut into 1/2 inch slices. Arrange half of the slices in a greased
13"x9"x2" baking dish. Top with the aplles and remaining sweet potato slices.

2. In a small saucepan, bring the brown sugar, butter and apple juice to a boil, stirring constantly. Pour over potatoes and apples. Bake, uncovred, at 325 degrees for 30 minutes or until apples are tender. Sprinkle with gingersnap crumbs. Bake 15 minutes longer.

Yield: 8-10 servings.

I hope you enjoy!!
