Dinner Tonight: Sweet Potatoes With Apples and Brown Sugar Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
I know, this looks bad. Sometimes rough looking ingredients can be combined to create some beautiful looking cuisine, but this just looks like a few tubers tossed with some fruit and cooked for a long while. And, honestly, that’s really all it is. Toss in a little brown sugar, butter, and water for good measure, and that’s the recipe. Luckily looks aren’t everything.
I snagged this from the time worn Joy of Cooking, and what it loses in appearance, and more than makes up for in taste. Those messy looking apples lend a nice batch of acidity to the starchy potatoes, making this a nice Thanksgiving alternative to the classic marshmallow covered ones.
