Equipment

Ingredients

2 pounds sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1/2 inch slices
1 cup apple juice divided
1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
pecans for topping (I used candied pecans, but any kind will work)

Instructions

Place cut-up sweet potatoes in a slow cooker.
Pour 1/2 cup apple juice into a bowl and mix in cinnamon, brown sugar and nutmeg; pour over sweet potatoes.
Cover slow cooker and cook on low 4-5 hours or until potatoes are soft and tender (it will depend on how hot your slow cooker cooks and how big/small you chopped your potatoes).
When potatoes are cooked through, blend the sweet potatoes inside your slow cooker with a hand mixer or mash with a potato masher.
Depending on what texture you want for your potatoes, you can add up to 1/2 cup of remaining apple juice - I usually add a few tablespoons at a time and mash them again until I get the consistency I want.
Season with more cinnamon and nutmeg if desired.
Top with pecans and serve.
