Sweet Potato Casserole With Apple Cinnamon Topping

• FOR THE CASSEROLE:
• 6 whole Medium Sweet Potatoes, Peeled And In Chunks
• 3 whole Eggs
• 1/4 teaspoons Salt
• 3/4 cups Splenda (can Substitute Real Sugar Of Course)
• 3/4 cups Light Brown Sugar
• 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
• 3 Tablespoons Milk
• 1/4 cups Whole Wheat Flour (can Substitute With AP Flour)
• FOR THE TOPPING:
• 4 packages Instant Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal
• 2 Tablespoons Whole Wheat Or All-purpose Flour
• 2 Tablespoons Light Brown Sugar
• 1/2 cups Butter, Room Temperature

1. 1. Prepare the potatoes: I always rinse the potato first. Then, using a vegetable peeler, peel the skins. Slice peeled potatoes down the middle, then slice the halves into 1/2" slices. Place into a large pot. (If you don't have a pot that will hold them all, you can divide between two pots). Cover potatoes with water to the top of the potatoes. Bring to a boil on high. Then kick the heat down to medium-high and continue to boil until the potatoes are fork tender (this should take 10-20 minutes - make sure to test with a fork).
2. 2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Drain potatoes. To avoid sweet potato explosions in my mixer, I put half of the potatoes in the mixer and beat until broken up. Then add the rest of the potatoes and beat on medium-low for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. It depends on how chunky or creamy you like them. I like them creamy.
3. 3. Once the potatoes are beaten, add the remaining casserole ingredients. The heat of the potatoes will melt the butter. Beat for another minute.
4. 4. Place into a 13x9 pan and bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees F.
5. 5. In a small bowl, combine oatmeal, flour and brown sugar. Add butter and mix until it looks like coarse crumbs. Put on top of the casserole and bake another 10 minutes.
6. * You can make this ahead of time using steps 1-3 and then put it in the fridge to bake the next morning.**
7. ** I have used frozen mashed potatoes in the past and it does work. I would mix the topping in a separate bag to freeze separately and then both can thaw together before assembling the casserole. Bake like normal after thawed.
8. *** You can make this using 7 medium sweet potatoes instead of 6. I scaled it down to 6 because 7 tends to make my Kitchenaid mixer explode a little.
