Ingredients

  • 1 pound sweet potatoes or yams (about 3 medium)
  • 1 cup applesauce
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine

Steps

  • 1
    Place sweet potatoes in 3-quart saucepan; add enough water (salted if desired) to cover. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 30 to 35 minutes or until tender; drain. Remove skins; cut each sweet potato lengthwise in half.

    Heat oven to 375°. Place sweet potatoes, cut sides up, in ungreased 2-quart casserole or square baking dish, 8x8x2 inches. Spread applesauce over sweet potatoes. Mix brown sugar, nuts and cinnamon; sprinkle over applesauce. Dot with butter. Cover and bake about 30 minutes or until hot.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

    Looking for a shortcut? Use 1 can (18 ounces) vacuum-packed sweet potatoes, cut lengthwise in half, for the fresh sweet potatoes.
  • tip 2
    Why not try some sweet potato sprinkles? • Dried cranberries • Miniature marshmallows • Canned sliced peaches or pineapple • Toasted pecans or almonds • French-fried onion rings or crushed croutons
