Kateful-sweetpotato/apple recipe

  • 5 or 6 sweet potatoes
    3 apples ( I like granny smith for this)
    1/4 t nutmeg
    1/4 -1/2 t cinnamon ( we like cinnamon here)
    1/4 C maple syrup (could use honey or brown sugar I think)
    1/4 C pecans

    Peel potatoes and apples and layer in oiled (I use Pam) crock. Pour syrup over top and sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg. Low 5-6 hrs, high 3-4 hrs. I sprinkle the nuts on top last so they are crunchy but you could add them in I suppose.
  • Oh, this would be great for Thanksgiving! I'm always looking for things that don't require the stovetop.
  • I do this in a roasting pan in the oven, minus the syrup. It has more the consistency of roast potatoes, and everyone can put on their own topping of choice.

  • Thanks! I just googled it today and found the same recipe. I already have the stuff on my grocery list. Thanks for the idea. It sounds so yummy, and I like that it doesn't have so much sugar or butter as some of the other similar recipes.
