Sweet Potato Casserole with Apples

This is one of those perfect fall dishes that Grandma could prepare using fall produce.  It's the perfect casserole for cool fall nights.

4 sweet potatoes (peeled and cut into 1/2" slices)
2 large apples (peeled and sliced)
1 tsp salt
2/3 cup light Karo syrup
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with water.  Stir in salt and bring to a boil over high heat.  Boil for 10 minutes until potatoes are just tender.  Drain.

Place sweet potatoes in the bottom of an ungreased 13 x 9" baking dish.  Top with sliced apples.  Drizzle apples with corn syrup and then sprinkle with brown sugar.  Dot with the butter and top with the finely chopped pecans.

Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
