Gluten Free Sweet Potato Casserole

If you like sweet potatoes, apples and cranberries then you will love this recipe!  I got the initial recipe from my Mom last year but after making it several times I have tweaked it and made sure it is free of Gluten and Dairy. 

--4 medium sweet potatoes (pealed and cubed)
--3 medium apples (we use Fuji apples but you can use any type)
--1 1/2 cups of fresh or frozen cranberries
--1/2 tbsp salt
--1/2 cup melted butter (I use dairy free smart balance but you can use any dairy free butter)
--3/4 cup sugar
--1 1/2 tsp cinnamon (Make sure it is GF)
--1/2 tsp nutmeg (Make sure it is GF)
--1/2 tsp cloves (Make sure it is GF)
--1/2 cup apple juice or apple cider

 

 

 

 

  First, peel and cube sweet potatoes. Add the 1/2 tbsp of salt to the cubed sweet potatoes and stir.  Salt brings out the flavor of the sweet potatoes.  Next peel and cube apples. Add to large bowl and pour in cranberries (forgot to get that picture!)

 

Next, in a separate bowl mix together the melted butter, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.

Pour butter mixture into bowl and stir.

 

 

Lastly, spray a 9X13 casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray and place mixture into pan.  Pour apple juice or cider over mixture.  Cover with foil and cook at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes.  I stir mixture about every 20 minutes during the cooking process.  The picture below is after we had eaten half of the casserole.  It was Thanksgiving dinner and I forgot to take a picture when it first came out of the oven!!
