Autumn is the time for certain dishes and this is one of them. With apples, sweet potatoes and spices like cinnamon and allspice, it is difficult not to FALL in love with this dish…..
(OK bad joke, but it worked for me!)
I’m not really sure if this is a side dish or a dessert. I think it really can masquerade as either.
A short list of ingredients.
I first pre-cooked the sweet potatoes in the microwave. Then layer the apples and potatoes.
Brown sugar and butter.
Repeat.
And eat!
