Sweet Potato Crisp

Overwhelmed With Joy is hosting a holiday recipe exchange. Here's a fabulous recipe for sweet potatoes.

Sweet Potato Crisp

1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1 can (40 oz.) cut sweet potatoes, drained
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar, divided (or more if you like them sweeter)
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 cup chopped apples
2/3 cup chopped cranberries
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats, uncooked
1/3 cup cold butter or margarine
1/4 cup chopped PLANTERS Pecans


PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Beat cream cheese, sweet potatoes, 1/4 cup of the sugar and cinnamon with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Spoon into 1-1/2-quart casserole dish; top with apples and cranberries.

MIX flour, oats and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in medium bowl; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in pecans. Sprinkle over fruit mixture.

BAKE 35 to 40 minutes or until heated through.

This recipe makes me wish everyday was Thanksgiving. We still don't have our plans set in stone. One thing I do know...I'm leaving the turkey to my mom! I will have this and a pumpkin cake in tow wherever we go.
