How to Make Turnip And Apples

  1. Peel and dice 1.5 lbs turnips. Boil in salted water until tender (approximately 20-25 minutes).
  2. Drain the cooked turnips and mash with 4 tablespoons of butter.
  3. Peel and thinly slice 3 medium apples (about 1.5 lbs total), such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith.
  4. Toss the apple slices with 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  5. Grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish. Arrange a layer of mashed turnips, followed by a layer of apple slices. Repeat layers, ending with turnips.
  6. **For the Crumble Topping:** In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to mix until crumbly.
  7. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the casserole.
  8. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45-60 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
