Christina's Notes
Cut the sweet potatoes and apples into evenly sized pieces so they cook at the same rate.
Avoid overcooking the sweet potatoes during boiling. They will continue to soften while baking.
If your apples are especially sweet, reduce the brown sugar slightly.
For extra crunch, toast the pecans in a dry skillet before adding them to the casserole.
This casserole can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated before baking.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheat in a 325 degree F oven until warmed through.
