Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 2 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into 1-inch thick rounds.
Spray the inside of the crock pot with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease it with butter.
Place the sliced sweet potatoes into the crock pot in an even layer.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the applesauce, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Pour the applesauce mixture over the sweet potatoes, spreading it evenly so all the slices are covered.
Dot the top with the butter, evenly distributing it across the dish.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
Stir gently before serving to ensure the applesauce mixture coats all the sweet potatoes.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
