This casserole is a great alternative to a traditional potato gratin. Slice sweet potatoes into thin slices and bake them in layers in a creamy thyme sauce. The sweet potato's natural sweetness is perfectly accented by a crisp topping of crushed gingersnaps. Serve as a side dish with roast turkey or chicken.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat oven to 190°C.
- In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add breadcrumbs and gingerbread cookies and cook, stirring, for 3-5 minutes; set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, maple syrup, thyme, allspice, 1.5 teaspoons salt, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil and remove from heat.
- Grease a 3-quart baking dish. Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer in the bottom of the dish and pour about a third of the cream mixture on top. Repeat to create two more layers of sweet potatoes and cream. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking until the cream is bubbling and the sweet potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a knife, another 40 to 50 minutes, sprinkling the sweet potatoes with breadcrumbs 5 minutes before they're done.
