Instructions: 3 Pounds orange-fleshed sweet potatoes (about 3 very large), peeled, cut crosswise into 1/4 inch thick rounds 1 3/4 pounds tart green apples, peeled, halved, cored, cut into 1/4 inch thick slices 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup apple cider 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In 13x9x2 inch glass baking dish, alternate potato and apple slices in rows, packing tightly.

Combine remaining ingredients in heavy medium saucepan and bring to boil over high heat.

Pour hot syrup over potatoes and apples.

Cover dish thghtly with foil and bake 1 hour. Uncover casserole. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake until potatoes and apples are very tender and syrup is reduced to thick glaze, basting occasionally. This will take approximately 1 more hour, but can vary depending on size of potatoes and apples.

Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
