INGREDIENTS

  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 1/2 pounds butternut squash, peeled and cubed

  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

  2. Combine 1/3 cup brown sugar, eggs, 2 tablespoons butter, vanilla, 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Reserve 1/4 cup mixture for squash.
  3. In food processor, blend sweet potatoes with remaining egg mixture until smooth. Spread in greased 13x9-inch baking dish, or 3-quart casserole. Top with pecans.
  4. In food processor, blend squash with reserved 1/4 cup egg mixture. Spread over pecan layer. Arrange apple slices on top of squash layer. Combine 1/3 cup brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle over apples. Drizzle 4 tablespoons melted butter over top. Bake 45-50 minutes, or until set in the center. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

What a wonderful recipe!! I omitted the squash and used only sweet potatoes but otherwise followed the recipe exactly and it was absolutely delicious! Way better than the usual candied sweet potatoes. Will most definitely make again.

Excellent recipe. Not too sweet like many sweet potato casseroles. The only changes I made were to use more sweet potatoes and squash (maybe a half pound more of each) and less butter and brown sugar mix on top. This tastes great warm or cold.

Very yummy and easy to make. I accidentally bought white yams instead of sweet potatoes and it came out just fine. It wasn't too sweet, and was a huge hit with the entire family!
