Delicious Sweet Potatoes

I grew up hating sweet potatoes. At some point in the past twenty years or so, that changed. I find now that I quite enjoy sweet potatoes.

Layering them with the apples enhances the sweetness factor. Using the tart apples helps with that as you get a little tartness as well.

Coating the slices before placing them in the casserole provides the dish with a sauce of sorts.

The bacon over top is a lovely addition. You get the bacon flavor through out the dish.

This was a lovely side dish!

Arrange apples and potatoes in alternate layers in a buttered casserole. Dot with butter, pour on the cider, and arrange bacon strips over the top. Cover and bake in a 350 degree oven for 35 minutes.
