Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Sweet potatoes
- 21 ounces Apricot pie filling
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Pecans (optional)
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch chunks.
Grease the inside of the crock pot with a small amount of butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the sweet potato chunks into the crock pot.
In a small bowl, mix together the apricot pie filling, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until combined.
Pour the apricot mixture over the sweet potatoes, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and scatter them over the top of the mixture.
If using pecans, sprinkle them on top for added crunch and flavor.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 4 hours, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Once cooked, gently stir the mixture to combine the flavors. Serve warm as a side dish.
