Sweet Potato Casserole... guilt free : )


Sorry, no marshmallows in this one, but its so good you won't miss them.  Its like grownup sweet potato casserole.

5 large sweet potatoes or yams
2 apples peeled and cut into large chunks
1 tsp fresh grated ginger
1 tbs ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
4 tbs of organic grass fed butter
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 cup chopped pecans

Peel and cut yams into approx 1" chunks, boil until fork tender. Strain and place in a large bowl. While still hot, add apples, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, butter and maple syrup. Mix well. Spread mixture in an 11x7 glass baking dish. Sprinkle with pecans and bake uncovered at 350 for 30-35 minutes.

I generally cannot tolerate dairy, but a small amount of butter in a large dish like this does not seem to bother me. I have tried to sub grape seed oil, which is not bad, but not quite as good as the butter in this one.

Merry Christmas!
