This is a super simple recipe that I make as a sweet, easy side dish. It tastes a LOT like apple pie... but even healthier!

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 Granny Smith apple - peeled, cored and sliced
• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground allspice
• 0.125 cup milk

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place the sweet potato in a medium saucepan and fill with enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat, drain and set aside.

Step 2

Melt butter over low heat in a small saucepan. Mix in the sugar, cinnamon and allspice. Add the apple slices, cover, and let simmer for 5 minutes, or until the apples are tender. Mix the apple mixture into the drained sweet potatoes along with the milk. Mix well using an electric mixer or just a fork until potatoes are mashed.
