Smushed Apples and Sweet Potatoes



from allrecipes.com, submitted by ELFINDANCER

Someone with the screen name ELFINDANCER made a recipe with the word "smushed" in it. I had to try it! That just sounds fun! I really couldn't decide weather to include this in the side dishes or dessert files! It is very sweet and yummy. My boys didn't agree. So give it a try and see what you think!

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

Place the sweet potatoes 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.

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.

Husband said thumbs up, boys said thumbs down
