Ingredients
- AFTER COOKING, STIR IN:
- 2 lb. sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch slices
- 1 cup apple juice, no sugar added, 100% juice
- 1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp. allspice
- 1/4 tsp. ground cloves'
- Cinnamon and nutmeg to taste
- Apple juice (see instructions)
- Pecans (optional)
- Honey or maple syrup to taste (optional for those who like a sweeter version)
Preparation
Step 1
Prepare your sweet potatoes and place in 3 qt. crock pot. Add 1/2 cup of the apple juice (NOT the 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.
