Recipe type: Side Dishes
Serves: 6-8 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 1 Granny Smith apple, cored and sliced
  • ½ cup pecan pieces
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • ⅓ c bourbon
  • ½ c honey
  • ¾ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • 1/16 tsp cayenne pepper
  • ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
  1. To begin, place your sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, and bake at 375 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until they are slightly soft and cooked through.
  2. Remove them from the oven and cool long enough that you can handle them without burning your hands, about 30 minutes.
  3. Peel the skins off of the potatoes and slice them into ½ inch thick slices.
  4. Core and slice a Granny Smith (or other firm baking) apple.
  5. In a 2 quart, buttered baking dish, arrange your sweet potato slices and apples. Set this aside for a moment.
  6. In a medium skillet over high heat, toss in your pecans and toast them until they are slightly browned and beautifully fragrant.
  7. Turn the heat down to low and add in the butter.
  8. When the butter is melted, stir in the bourbon and remaining ingredients.
  9. Pour this mixture over the top of the sweet potatoes & apple. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the apples are tender.
  10. Enjoy!
