6 sweet potatoes
2 c. apple slices
1 c. brown sugar, firmly packed
3/4 c. chopped pecans
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. mace
1/2 c. butter

Cook sweet potatoes just until tender. Peel and cut into cross-wise slices 1/4 inch thick. Butter a 2 quart casserole and arrange 1/2 of the sweet potatoes in the bottom; then 1/2 of the apple slices. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the brown sugar, salt, and mace. Dot with 1/2 of the butter, then repeat the layer, ending with apples, seasonings, pecans, and butter. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes. Serves 6.
