I wanted to make something with sweet potatoes other than the usual casserole for Thanksgiving this year and this turned out great. I made it exactly as listed. The potatoes were more than tender when cooked for 1 hour & I was worried they would fall apart after cooking again with the apples but they held up well. My only complaint was that the glaze thinned out a lot after baking (guessing the juice from the apples did this) but everyone liked it and there was none left to take home. I would make again.

This was really yummy. I didn't bother peeling the apples and used Granny Smith's like another reviewer. One mistake I made was selecting long, skinny sweet potatoes. The slices of them were only and inch and a half in diameter whereas the apple slices were a good three inches or so. Next time I'll remember to get thicker sweet potatoes. I also cut the slices in half so they'd sit better in the pan. I think the apples are a great mix with the sweet potatoes and keep the dish from being overly sweet and cloying.

Substituted "honey" for molasses & used "granny smith" apples; otherwise kept recipe intact with all other listed ingredients. Total hit with party and many walked with "my" recipe. Kudos to Oxmoor House!
