Candied Sweet Potatoes and Apples

 

Giorgio Celmo

I love candied sweet potatoes; I make them every year for thanksgiving. My sister goes to South Carolina in the fall to her condo in Myrtle Beach and she always brings back sweet potatoes. We always have leftovers so we eat them the next day for leftovers but I tend to make a lot, we'll  have some left so I made this recipe to finish them off in style.

Ingredients

1Lb. Cooked candied sweet potatoes

1 Large red apple cored and cut into 12 wedges

1/3 Cup Brown sugar

1 Tablespoon Butter

1Tablespoon Water

Dash ground cloves

1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, toasted

Directions

1.     Core the unpeeled apple and cut into 12 wedges. In a greased, two-quart casserole combine candied potato slices with juices and apple wedges.

2.    In a small saucepan bring the brown sugar, water butter, and cloves to boiling. Drizzle the mixture evenly over potatoes and apples.

3.    Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree F oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until potatoes and apples are glazed, stirring twice. Sprinkle potatoes and apples with toasted pecans or walnuts. Makes 4 servings.
