Good dish, but too sweet. This is better as a dessert or snack than as a casserole for a meal.

This is a recipe that is a "must have" at the holidays. It's easy, tastes great, and although it counts as a vegetable it tastes more like a dessert! I like being able to add more sweet potatoes or more apples depending on the tastes of the crowd. Great the next day too.

I was just trying to use up some extra sweet potatoes & apples but I didn't think that it would come out this good.I omitted the pecans because a guest was allergic. Other than that, the only thing I changed was that at the end.....I melted the butter and made a roux w/the flour. I then added the brown sugar and made a caramel sauce. Poured it on the sweet potatoes/apples, mixed it up a bit and baked. Then, made a little more sauce to pour over when it came out of the oven only for 'eye appeal'. This was gone in no time. Definitely will make again.

I made this for Thanksgiving and also for a recent family dinner and everyone loved it (even a few who normally don't like sweet potatoes). To cut down on fat and sugar, i made this using only half the sugar, half the butter and omitted the pecans. It was still delicious! Will definitely add this to my recipe rotation.

I made this recipe for Thanksgiving dinner and it did come out great. There was barely any left. My only recomendation is to take special notice of the two listings for brown sugar. I didn't realize the 2nd listing was for the topping and almost messed the whole batch up. Whew!

This was fabulous. I don't really like sweet potatoes but it was Thanksgiving and you have to have them so I thought I'd try this. Everyone loved it. None of us really like sweet potatoes, but my husband, my sister,my brother-in-law even my kids loved this. THANKS!

Everyone loved this recipe. I used half the amount of sugar and it was still sweet. I agree that the flour should be left out as it did create a paste on top. Just melt the butter with the other ingredients and pour on top. Also, don't overcook the potatoes and wait until they are cool to slice; otherwise they become a little mushy.

Very good. I have never enjoyed eating sweet potatoes because everyone makes them so sickening sweet. As another suggested, I left the sugar out of the layers (only used nutmeg and cinnamon). Not too sweet at all and very tasty.

Used a combo of suggestions and it came out perfect. Try this: Boil the potatoes in skins until fork tender, about 20 minutes. Cool, peel and slice into greased casserole dish. Using only 1/2 cup of brown sugar total, mix remaining ingredients except apples and butter. Top potatoes with 1/3 sugar mixture. Mix apples (1/4 inch slices cut into 8 pieces each) with the remaining sugar mix, spread over potatoes. Drizzle the melted butter over the top. Bake for 20 min, stir gently and drizzle with 1 Tablespoon melted butter if mixture seems dry. cook 15-20 minutes more. Great flavor combo!

This is DELISH!! I followed the recipe as directed except I sliced the sweet potatoes small BEFORE I boiled them, and they didn't take as long. Thanks so much, I'll be making this again and again!

Very good, we made it for Thanksgiving and it was a nice alternative to that tired pineapple/sweet potato/marshmallow mess. Even our toddler ate it.

Excellent, IF you tweak a bit. The combination of sweet potatoes and apples is sublime. Golden Delicious is the best type to use since it's texture and firmness is similar to the Sweet Potato. Definitely BAKE your potoates first (locks in the sweetness and vitamins!), cool, then slice. I also sliced my apples, then cut again into bite size pieces and it cooked perfectly. No need to layer the sugar in between. Just melt the butter (1/2 c. is enough)& spices and drizzle over the top. Good dish to make ahead of time and put into the fridge. Just let it sit at room temp. for a few hours before baking and you're good to go. This is such a nice change from the marshamallow topping and so much lighter! I always get raves and requests for this dish, which I've been making for the past 5 yrs. Try it!

This was a good dessert dish. I must say it was a bit too sweet however. Personally, I would omit the sugar between layers, add the spices to the topping and use a bit of that between layers.
