Crock of Potatoes

From: Here

Ingredients:
3 sweet potatoes, peeled
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/8 cup butter, melted
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup applesauce
1 Tbsp butter
1/4 cup pecan pieces

Cut potatoes into one-inch chunks and place in crockpot. Combine brown sugar, first measure of butter, cinnamon and applesauce in small bowl; blend and pour over potatoes. Cover crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours until potatoes are tender. When ready to serve, melt remaining butter in small skillet; add pecan pieces. Cook over low heat for 5-6 minutes. Sprinkle over sweet potatoes and serve.



What I did differently from the recipe:
The website actually allows you to change serving sizes, so it started off for 6 potatoes and I made it just 3. You can change it to whatever you like.

What I'll do differently next time:
Not sure.

Verdict:
Thumbs up! Well, these were very tasty. I love sweet potatoes and usually have an abundance of them around the house, but I'm always up for trying new recipes. I was intrigued by the applesauce in this recipe but honestly I could taste it, even just the small amount that is actually in the recipe, and I didn't care too much for it. The thing that made it better was the butter/pecan mixture added at the last minute. I normally would not put pecans on my sweet potatoes because I don't really like nuts, but I decided to do it just to step out of the box. Verdict? Delicious!! Oh my goodness, it melted in my mouth after that! I definitely recommend doing that part of the recipe! (P.S. Don't judge the ugly picture!!)
