Ingredients

For the sweet potatoes

  • 3 lbs. sweet potatoes peeled and cut into approx. 1" chunks
  • 3 medium apples peeled and cut into approx. 1" chunks
  • 2 tbsp. vanilla bean paste
  • 1/4 c. honey
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

For the pecan oat topping

  • 1 1/3 c. old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 c. roughly chopped pecans
  • 1/2 c. almond meal
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 5 tbsp. melted coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp. pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, boil peeled sweet potatoes. Cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Add apples, vanilla bean paste, and cinnamon. Return to stove top and heat 5 minutes until apples are warmed through; stirring to prevent potatoes from sticking. Remove from heat and add honey. Using a hand mixer or immersion blender, mash apples and potatoes until smooth. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish or other 3 quart casserole dish and set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the topping ingredients: oats, pecans, almond meal, cinnamon, salt, coconut oil, and maple syrup until moist and evenly mixed. Sprinkle over the sweet potatoes. Bake until the topping is toasted and fragrant and casserole is warmed through, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.
