Baked Turnip and Apple Crumble
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch casserole dish.

  2. 2

    Place turnip in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl.

  3. 3

    Mash turnip, 2 tablespoons butter, salt, and pepper together until smooth.

  4. 4

    Toss apples with 2 tablespoons brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.

  5. 5

    Spread 1/2 the turnips in the prepared dish; top with 1/2 the apples. Repeat with the remaining turnips and apples.

  6. 6

    Combine flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons butter by hand in a bowl until it resembles coarse crumbs; sprinkle over the casserole.

  7. 7

    Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and bubbling, about 1 hour.
