Sweet Potato Apple Casserole

I'm not sure just what to call this. A good side dish for pork yet also good in the morning next to your eggs. Maybe even dessert?

INGREDIENTS
2    pounds sweet potatoes, peeled, diced ½ inch (4 cups)
1    tablespoons molasses
¼   teaspoon allspice
¼   teaspoon nutmeg
 
2    tablespoons butter
3    apples, red and green, peeled, cored, diced ½ inch (4 cups)
1    teaspoon cinnamon
2    large eggs, beaten

METHOD

Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease sides and bottom of a 3 quart baking dish. In a large sauce pan, add the cubed sweet potatoes and enough water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 to 12 minutes until the potatoes are just tender. Drain and move to a large mixing bowl. Add the molasses, allspice and nutmeg. Stir to coat and combine. Set aside.

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the apple cubes. Cook at a simmer, turning occasionally, until golden, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with the cinnamon. Pour the sweet potatoes into the skillet.

Add the mix to the prepared baking dish. Pour the beaten eggs over the dish and mix to combine and evenly distribute the potatoes and apples. Bake until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes on a wire rack before serving.

NOTE: I added some bread crumbs on top before baking. Made it look a little more finished.
