  • Choose the right apples: For a sweet and tart flavor, use a variety of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady. If you prefer a sweeter casserole, use sweeter apples, such as Gala or Fuji.
  • Don't overcook the sweet potatoes: Overcooked sweet potatoes will be mushy and bland. Cook them until they are just tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Use a good quality maple syrup: Maple syrup is the key to giving this casserole its delicious flavor. Use a pure maple syrup, not a pancake syrup or imitation maple syrup.
