Holiday Sweet Potato & Apple Casserole image

This was a huge success at Thanksgiving Dinner...not one bite left! Apples give these sweet potatoes a new twist! A nice company dish that can be prepared a day ahead, refrigerated, and baked just before serving. Cooking time does not include pre-baking sweet potatoes.

This casserole was a little too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it.

I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but I really enjoyed this casserole. The apples and streusel topping were the perfect addition.
