It’s traditionally made by mashing sweet potatoes with brown sugar and melted butter and baking it with a melty marshmallow topping. Fun fact: The first documented recipe of this beloved dish was published in a cookbook in 1917, after mass-produced marshmallows became more widely used in American homes.

But sweet potato casserole is easy to customize and make your own. We gave our version a twist by adding a surprising ingredient: apples. The combination of the fruit, potatoes and seasonal spices, plus the caramelized marshmallow topping, is guaranteed to have guests coming back for seconds.
