Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large sweet potatoes (peeled, cut into 3" x 1" wedges, and baked until just soft (mom uses diced Royal Prince brand candied yams))
5 medium sized carrots (steamed and cut into 1/2" thick round slices)
2 large apples (sliced (mom uses 3 small apples: 1 Golden Delicious, 1 Fuji or McIntosh, and 1 Granny Smith))
8 ounces pineapple (cut into wedges and crushed in a food processor (mom uses a can of crushed pinapple that's been drained))
3/4 cup assorted dried fruit cut into small pieces (golden raisins, apricots, prunes, and peaches are ideal)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
juice from 2 navel oranges
juice from 1 lemon
2 1/2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 F.
Stagger sweet potatoes, carrots, and apples in a 8.5" x 13" x 2" baking dish.
Spread pineapple and dried fruits evenly over the top.
Sprinkle brown sugar over the top.
Cut butter into quarter-sized pieces and distribute evenly over the casserole, pressing the butter just a little bit into the topping.
Pour the navel orange juice and lemon juice over the top.
Bake covered for thirty minutes or until all the fruit and vegetables are very soft.
