Grandma Cheney's Sweet Potatoes

1 1/4 lb sweet potatoes
Steam in pot till tender. Slice 1st layer in casserole dish. Layer with 1 lb apples and whole pecans.

Sauce:
3/4 c sugar
1 tsp salt
4 Tbsp cornstarch
2 c water or apple juice
1/4 c water
Cook till clear. Spoon over sweet potatoes. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes to 1 hour or till apples are tender.

I love this recipe! I never liked sweet potatoes until I tasted this recipe. In my opinion, pineapple and marshmallows do NOT belong on the Thanksgiving table. I love this traditional recipe that tastes of fall. However, I always end up with a plate of apples and pecans with a bite or two of sweet potatoes on the side. The apples and pecans are just divine.
