I only used half the suggested amount of sugar....would have been too sweet with it all....I also baked the sweet potatoes instead of boiling them and it turned out great...a great addition to Thanksgiving dinner!

I halved the recipe for my husband and I and used 2 small sweet potatoes and 1 Granny Smith Apple, but I kept the topping the same (that's my favorite part!). It was soooo good! This is how I will make sweet potatoes from now on (I'll have to lay off on the topping, though .. ..!)

This was great. I had some kiwis on hand so I added them. Next time I will take the advice of some reviewers and bake the potatoes instead of boiling. I'm thinking that way they'll be naturally sweeter and then I'll need less brown sugar.

I totally agree with mommyfromseattle I took the sweet potatos and put them in a roaster pan and baked them for 25 to 30 minutes prior to baking the dish instead of boiling them. The skin peels right off. I also added oats to the topping mixture and made sort of a sweet potato crumble....it was delish. I cubed the potatos and apples and cooked with the top on most of the cooking time and then took it of for the last 10 minutes to crisp up some.

I added juice and zest from 1/2 an orange. Didn't have pecans, so I used almonds - they were scrumptious also.

Very good but almost like a dessert - an apple crisp with sweet potatoes.

I used Fuji apples instead of baking apples and the result was sweet and delicious. The kids and even my mom couldn't stop eating this. Mom even wanted the recipe.

I didn't add any brown sugar... I sprinkled the layers with cinnamon sugar after spraying with olive oil. I did end up having to cook it a bit longer... the apples cooked but the sweet potatoes took longer. I love how the flavors all blend without all the sweet! Thanks for the recipe.

I used canned yams (what I had on hand) and thought it turned out well. I would use less brown sugar than called for, however, and I wish I had cooked it longer than 30 min (my apples were still hard). Also used walnuts in place of the pecans, which I thought was fantastic!

LOVE love LOVE this recipe! My friend made it for Thanksgiving last year and I had to make it this year for my Thanksgiving. It was a hit! Only thing I am going to try different next year is cubing the apples into bit size pieces as well. I used Granny Smith apples and it was a GREAT combination with the sweet potatos. Just a smidge of tart with the sweet.

This was a hit at Thanksgiving! I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but I had seconds of these. My family doesn't like really sweet sweet potato dishes, so I used 1/4 cup of brown sugar over the potatoes and then 1/4 cup over the apples and they were still plenty yummy.

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.
