Savory Turnip and Apple Bake

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Turnip and Apple Bake.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and generously grease an 8-inch casserole dish to ensure easy serving later.

2. Step 2

   In a large pot, combine cubed turnip with salted water, bringing it to a lively boil.

3. Step 3

   Once boiling, lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer until the turnip is tender, which should take about 15 to 20 minutes.

4. Step 4

   After draining the turnip, transfer it to a mixing bowl and mash it to creamy perfection with 2 tablespoons of butter, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper.

5. Step 5

   Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, coat diced apples with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and a hint of cinnamon, ensuring they are well mixed.

6. Step 6

   Now, spread half of the velvety mashed turnip in the bottom of your prepared casserole dish, followed by a layer of half the apple mixture.

7. Step 7

   Repeat this delightful layering with the remaining turnip and apples.

8. Step 8

   For the finishing touch, blend 1/4 cup of brown sugar with 2 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl until it resembles coarse crumbs, then sprinkle this crumbly mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

9. Step 9

   Place your creation in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until the dish is bubbling and beautifully cooked through.
