I served this with stuffed pork chops and a spinach salad for a dinner party. Everyone raved. I wasn't sure how I would like this, but it was wonderful. A great way to serve sweet potatoes without them being "sweet". I made the mistake of putting the topping on when I first put it in the oven, and it turned out just fine.

This side dish utilizes some of my favorite foods & combines the sweet & savory flavors in a very nice way. It smelled lovely in the oven. The closest sized pan that I had was 9 by 13", so I did increase both the toppings & the chicken broth to accomodate the larger area of sweet potatoes, apples & onions to be covered. The whole family enjoyed this one, thanks, Roosie
