SWEET POTATO, APPLE AND LEEK CASSEROLE



Sweet Potato, Apple and Leek Casserole image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium leeks, white and light green parts sliced lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 large sweet potato (about 1 pound), peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
1 large or 2 medium red skinned apples, such as Gala or Honeycrisp (about 12 ounces), halved, cored and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat. Add the leeks and 2 tablespoons water; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but not browned, about 8 minutes. Add the thyme and then the cream and cook until the liquid thickens, about 2 minutes; set aside.
  • In a 2-quart shallow baking dish, arrange the sweet potato in overlapping layers. Spread the leek mixture evenly over the potatoes. Arrange the apples in an overlapping layer on the leeks. Brush the apples with the remaining tablespoon of oil and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake 40 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until the Parmesan is golden brown and melted, about 20 minutes more. The tip of a paring knife should easily pierce the apples and potatoes.

SWEET POTATO - ORANGE - APPLE CASSEROLE image

Categories     Potato     Apple

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 large, cooked sweet potatoes
2 cooking apples
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup orange juice

Steps:

  • Remove skins from 2 large, cooked sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds). Peel and slice 2 cooking apples. Slice sweet potatoes 1/2 inch thick. In a buttered 9 inch pie pan arrange layers of sweet potatoes and apples. Dot each layer with butter using about 1 tablespoon butter in all. Sprinkle over each layer this mixture made by combining: 1/2 tsp. cinnamon Pour over all 1/2 cup orange juice. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and dot with an additional tablespoon butter. Return to oven and continue baking 15

Tips:

  • Use a variety of sweet potatoes. Mixing different types of sweet potatoes, such as Garnet, Jewel, and Beauregard, will give your casserole a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the sweet potatoes. They should be tender but still slightly firm. Overcooked sweet potatoes will be mushy and bland.
  • Use a sharp knife to peel the apples. This will help you avoid bruising the apples and making them turn brown.
  • Don't skimp on the butter. Butter adds richness and flavor to the casserole. If you're using unsalted butter, be sure to add a pinch of salt to taste.
  • Use a combination of spices. A blend of spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, will give your casserole a warm and inviting flavor.
  • Don't overmix the casserole. Overmixing will make the casserole dense and gummy. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the casserole until it's bubbly and golden brown. This will take about 45 minutes to an hour.
  • Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato apple casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes and apples, and it's always a hit with family and friends.
