Sweet Potato and Apple Puree w/ Streusel Topping

Sweet Potato and Apple Puree with Streusel Topping

I have been making this dish for many, many years (with some variations from time to time).  I meant to get it posted before November, but with baby on the way then (and now here), it just didn’t happen.  Better late than never. 

Serve this as a side dish at Thanksgiving or during the Fall and Winter months.  It’s so delicious, one of my absolute favorite side dishes. 

Enjoy!

Please excuse the color, I was cooking in the dark with awful lighting.
