Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes
- 3 medium apples (preferably Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups brown sugar
- 0.25 cups honey
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups pecans (optional)
Instructions
Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch thick rounds and set aside.
Core and slice the apples into wedges (leave the skin on if desired for texture and color). Set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Remove from heat.
Spray the inside of a crock pot with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease it with butter.
Layer half of the sweet potatoes in the bottom of the crock pot, followed by half of the apple slices.
Drizzle half of the glaze mixture over the first layer. Repeat the layers with the remaining sweet potatoes, apples, and glaze.
If using pecans, sprinkle them evenly over the top layer.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours or until the sweet potatoes and apples are tender.
Gently stir the mixture before serving to coat the sweet potatoes and apples in the glaze.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
