SWEET POTATO AND APPLE PURéE
This autumnal side dish is great for Thanksgiving, pairing tart apples and sweet potatoes, the flavors melding in the soft purée. It is also a cinch to prepare. Bake the apples and sweet potatoes until soft. Peel both and core the apples, chop and then purée until smooth and lustrous. Lime juice adds zing, yogurt adds creaminess and honey adds a note of sweetness. Melted butter? That is to enrich the texture.

Steps:
- First, make the pastry. Tip the flour, cheese and a pinch of salt into a large bowl and mix. Add the butter and rub it in using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Mix in 4-5 tbsp cold water, and bring together into a dough. Wrap and chill for 30 mins.
- To make the filling, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over a medium heat, then add the oil and onions and cook for 10-15 mins until caramelised. Add the thyme and fry for 1 min more. Tip in the flour, and stir to combine. Gradually stir in the stock, adding it in small amounts to prevent lumps forming. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 mins, stirring occasionally. Stir in the mustard and vinegar towards the end of the cooking time.
- Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a large pan of cold water, bring to the boil and cook for 4-5 mins until just cooked and still holding their shape. Drain well, then stir into the sauce. Add the apples, cheddar and some seasoning, and stir again. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
- Pour the filling into a 28cm oval baking dish (ours was 28 x 18.5 x 6.5cm). While it cools, roll out the pastry on a surface lightly dusted with flour to the thickness of a £1 coin. Cut into strips roughly 1cm wide. Lay half the strips across the dish horizontally, leaving gaps of a few millimetres in-between, then, one by one, weave in the remaining strips vertically, using an over and under technique, also spacing them apart by a few millimetres. Re-roll any trimmings and cut into flowers, leaves, or other shapes to decorate, if you like (see tip, below). Arrange any pastry shapes on top, then brush with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 50 mins, keeping an eye on it - you may need to cover the top with foil if it's starting to brown too quickly. Leave to cool for at least 10 mins before serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that will hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
- Peel and slice the apples thinly: This will help them to cook evenly.
- Sweeten the apples to taste: You can use sugar, honey, or maple syrup. If you are using a tart apple variety, you may need to add more sweetener.
- Grate the sweet potatoes: This will help them to blend into the pie filling.
- Add spices to the pie filling: Common spices used in apple pie include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. You can also add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
- Line the pie plate with a double layer of pie crust: This will help to prevent the filling from leaking out.
- Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes: This will help to create a crispy crust.
- Reduce the temperature and continue baking: This will help to cook the filling through.
- Let the pie cool before serving: This will help the filling to set.
Conclusion:
Apple and sweet potato pie is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet apples and savory sweet potatoes creates a flavor that is both comforting and exciting. This pie is also relatively easy to make, making it a great option for home bakers of all skill levels.
