Ingredients:

• 2, 16 oz cans sweet potatoes (yams), drained
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 2 Tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 6 medium apples, peeled & chopped
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 cup sugar
• Ground cinnamon

Method

In a large mixing bowl with mixer at low speed beat together the first six ingredients until combined. Increase speed to medium and beat until light and fluffy. Using a large ice cream scoop, spoon mounds of mixture onto a cookie sheet (lightly greased or non-stick) to make about 8 mounds. Make a "well" or depression in center of each mound with back of a spoon. In saucepan over medium heat, bring apples and water to boiling. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 10 min until apples are fork tender. Stir in sugar. With a slotted spoon transfer apples into the well; sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake at 400 degrees 25-30 mins until golden brown. Cool for a minute on the cookie sheet before removing.

Notes: Great to make ahead and re-heat; very pretty on plate.

Number of servings: 8
