For a richer flavor, consider browning the softened butter before adding it to the turnip mixture. This adds a nutty depth to the dish.
Feel free to experiment with different types of bread for the crumbs. Sourdough or multigrain bread can add interesting textures and flavors.
A pinch of nutmeg or a dash of cinnamon can complement the sweetness of the applesauce and enhance the overall warmth of the casserole.

    This recipe was a game-changer! I never thought I could enjoy turnips this much. The applesauce adds a perfect touch of sweetness.

    I added a sprinkle of parmesan cheese to the bread crumb topping for a savory twist. It was a hit!
