Serving8
Ingredients
- 2 pound 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)
Equipment
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.
