Description

This smushed apples and sweet potatoes recipe is super simple. I make it as a sweet, easy side dish. It tastes a lot like apple pie, but it's healthier!

Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 Granny Smith apple - peeled, cored and sliced
1/8 cup milk

Directions

1 Place sweet potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Transfer to a large bowl; set aside.
2 Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in sugar, cinnamon, and allspice. Add apple slices, cover, and simmer until apples are tender, about 5 minutes.
3 Stir apple mixture and milk into sweet potatoes; beat using an electric mixer or a fork until potatoes are mashed.
