How to Make Maple Glazed Apple And Sweet Potato Gratin

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with 1 tablespoon of butter.
  3. Set aside.
  4. In a medium saucepan, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat.
  5. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth and cooked, about 1 minute.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup packed brown sugar.
  7. Simmer, whisking constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens, about 4 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat.
  9. Arrange alternating slices of peeled and thinly sliced sweet potatoes (about 2 lbs) and apples (2 medium, peeled, cored, and sliced) in the prepared pan, overlapping slightly to create even layers.
  10. Pour the maple sauce evenly over the potatoes and apples.
  11. Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
  12. Increase oven temperature to 450°F (230°C).
  13. Remove the foil and baste the top with pan juices using a spoon.
  14. Bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and nicely browned, basting every 10 minutes.
  15. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm.
