CLASSIC TURNIP AND APPLE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F; butter a casserole dish (or spray with Pam) and set aside.
• Peel and dice turnip (this can be a tough job, as turnips are very dense) and place in a large pot.
• Cover with cold, lightly salted water and bring to a boil.
• Boil until turnip is tender (this takes longer than potatoes, usually), then drain and return to the pot.
• Mash turnip with the 1 tbsp butter and cream; stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar and the cinnamon; set aside.
• Peel apples, core, and slice.
• In prepared casserole dish, layer 1/3 of the turnip, then half the sliced apples, then 1/3 of the turnip, then the remaining apples, then the remaining turnip; smooth top.
• At this point, you could cover the dish tightly and refrigerate for several hours; don't put topping on until you're ready to pop this into the oven.
• When ready to bake, combine topping ingredients in a small bowl until they are crumbly; sprinkle over top of turnip.
• Bake in preheated oven for one hour; serve.

CRANBERRY APPLE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. LIghtly coat the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with a non-stick cooking spray.
• Melt butter in a large skillet. Add the diced apples, cinnamon, cloves and brown sugar. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes or until the apples are tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Slice crescent rolls in half lengthwise. Arrange crescent roll halves in the bottom of the baking dish, with the cut side up (crust side down).
• Spread the cranberry sauce evenly over the tops of the dinner rolls.
• Spread the apple mixture evenly over the cranberry layer.
• Add the apple cider, milk, lemon peel, nutmeg, and beaten eggs to a bowl, and blend well with a whisk. Pour the milky mixture over the top of the cranberry and apple layers. Sprinkle the nuts over the top. Let stand for at least 20 minutes, or cover the dish and place it in the refrigerator for several hours), to allow the milky mixture to soak into the rolls. JUST A QUICK NOTE ABOUT THIS STEP -- The longer the dish sits, the thicker the dish will be after baking. Setting it aside for at least 20 minutes will result in a cobbler-like consistency. But if you prepare this dish in advance (several hours to even a day ahead of time) and letting it chill in the refrigerator (covered) will result in a thicker, quiche-like consistency.
• Bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes. Remove the baking dish from the oven, and let the dish stand for about 10 minutes before serving.
• This can be served immediately as a side dish (while still hot), or the dish can be allowed to cool completely and served as a tart dessert topped with ice cream or whipping cream.
