Preparation

Step 1

Prepare your sweet potatoes and place in 3 qt. crock pot. Add 1/2 cup of the apple juice (NOTthe full cup) and your spices. Cook on Low for 4-5 hours or until sweet potatoes are cooked through and soft.

When potatoes are fully cooked through, using a hand blender, blend the sweet potatoes inside your crock pot insert, adding the second 1/2 cup of juice. Season with more cinnamon and nutmeg to taste. Top with pecans and enjoy.

Note: While this dish is yummy without the pecans, the pecans truly add the final touch to the flavor. Unless you have a nut allergy, we highly recommend the pecans. Do not be afraid of the fat in pecans. It is healthy fat a perfectly acceptable for Skinny eating.
