SO GOOD Honey Cinnamon Pecan Sweet Potatoes

Thanksgiving time means sweet potatoes in our house, but none of us like the marshmallow topping.  Here's a twist I made tonight that is OH SO GOOD!!  Easy too, which is a plus at this busy time of year!

The ingredients...
2 sweet potatoes, peeled 

8 tablespoons (1 stick) of butter 

6 tablespoons honey 

1/2 cup chopped pecans 

1/2 cup peeled and finely diced apple

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 pinch salt

drizzle of Olive oil

Serves 2-4 easily

Preheat oven to 400

Wash, peel and chop the sweet potatoes into bite-sized chunks.

Drizzle them with a little olive oil.

Oil a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

In a small pan, sautee together the rest of the ingredients 

until the apples begin to get soft.

Pile the mixture on top of the potatoes.  

Drizzle any remaining liquid over the potatoes.

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes.

Ready to go in the oven, 400 degrees for 40 minutes, covered with foil. 

Take off the foil, stir, and cook another 10 minutes.  

SO good!  The honey and cinnamon coat everything in a carmel-y sauce that's great! 

The finished product...
