CLASSIC TURNIP AND APPLE CASSEROLE



Classic Turnip and Apple Casserole image

I first had this recipe at my husband's aunt's home back in 1979; got the recipe from her and have been making it to serve with turkey dinner ever since. I love the apples and turnip together! If you want to make it ahead of time, you can; just make it up to the layering stage then cover tightly and refrigerate. Put topping on, though, just before it goes into the oven.

Time 2h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large yellow turnip (known as a rutabaga, sometimes called a Swede)
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons light cream (you can use milk)
2 apples (I use macintosh)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F; butter a casserole dish (or spray with Pam) and set aside.
  • Peel and dice turnip (this can be a tough job, as turnips are very dense) and place in a large pot.
  • Cover with cold, lightly salted water and bring to a boil.
  • Boil until turnip is tender (this takes longer than potatoes, usually), then drain and return to the pot.
  • Mash turnip with the 1 tbsp butter and cream; stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar and the cinnamon; set aside.
  • Peel apples, core, and slice.
  • In prepared casserole dish, layer 1/3 of the turnip, then half the sliced apples, then 1/3 of the turnip, then the remaining apples, then the remaining turnip; smooth top.
  • At this point, you could cover the dish tightly and refrigerate for several hours; don't put topping on until you're ready to pop this into the oven.
  • When ready to bake, combine topping ingredients in a small bowl until they are crumbly; sprinkle over top of turnip.
  • Bake in preheated oven for one hour; serve.
