Sweet potatoes were always a favorite of mine as a kid. This one is a little different and I think very good. Goes well with ham. Ingredients:
3 1/2-4 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2 inch chunks |
1 (20 ounce) can apple pie filling |
2/3 cup golden raisin |
3 tablespoons butter, cut up |
1 1/2 teaspoons apple pie spice |
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans |
1/3 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons butter |
Directions:
1. Spray a 4 quart slow cooker lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Add the sweet potatoes, apple pie filling, raisins, 3 tablespoons butter (cut up), and apple pie spice to the slow cooker; gently stir to mix.
3. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours.
4. In a large skillet, add the pecans, sugar, and 2 tablespoons butter.
5. Over medium heat, cook, stirring constantly, for 8-10 minutes or until sugar mixture that adheres to the nuts turns golden and starts to melt.
6. Pour nut mixture out onto a piece of foil; let cool completely.
7. Coarsely crush the nut mixture.
8. Serve potatoes topped with nuts.
