Possibly this one from Dining with William Shakespeare?  Bear

Stewed Potatoes

1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes
1 pound tart cooking apples
5 tbsp. Brown sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ginger
4 tbsp. Butter, diced
1/3 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup candied orange peel, diced

Bake the potatoes in their dkins for 30 minutes at 400?.  Peel them and cut 
them into thin slices.  Core and peel the apples and slice them thin.

Mix 3 tbsp. of the sugar with the cinnamon and ginger.  Butter a casserole 
with one tbsp. of the butter and put a layer of sliced apples into it. 
Sprinkle a little of the sugar-spice mixture and bits of diced butter over 
them.  Cover with a layer of sliced potatoes, sprinkle a little of the 
sugar-spice mixture and dot with butter.  Continue layering apples and 
potatoes as above until all are in the casserole.

Pour the wine vinegar over the top and sprinkle with the remaining two tbsp. 
of sugar.  Cover and bake at 350? for 40 minutes or until the potatoes and 
apples are tender.  Dot the dish with candied orange peel and serve hot.
