Ingredients

4 medium sweet potatoes (2 to 2-1/4 pounds), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
1/2 cup orange juice
6 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
TOPPING:
1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup chopped pecans

Directions
