Charlotte's Most Requested Potluck Dish---Charlotte Vermette

This dish is extremely flexible and forgiving. Enjoy!

Gently boil four pounds of sweet potatoes or yams until just done, skin and slice into half-inch rounds. Core and slice thinly four pounds of baking apples. Alternate layers of potatoes and apples in heavy, ovenproof casserole. Top each layer with dabs of butter, brown sugar or maple syrup, any dried fruits or nuts you have on hand, coarsely chopped (dried cranberries and walnuts are a favorite combination), and sprinkle with pumpkin pie spices. Pour several ounces of any fruit juice over the top, and bake covered at 350 degrees for 40 minutes, or until the apples are softened.
