By Hklbrries

Rich chestnuts have a nutty, earthy flavor that brings out the best in apples and sweet potatoes. Look in gourmet specialty stores to find the canned variety.

Ingredients

• 6 large sweet potatoes
• 3 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 1 can (15.5 ounces) whole chestnuts, packed in water, drained
• 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 cup apple cider

Preparation

Step 1

In a large saucepan, boil unpeeled sweet potatoes until tender (about 20 minutes). Remove from water and allow to cool.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Peel and slice sweet potatoes. In a lightly greased 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking pan, layer sweet potato slices, apples, and chestnuts. Sprinkle top with brown sugar and nutmeg; dot with butter. Pour apple cider over top. Bake 45 minutes or until mixture is bubbly.
