We really enjoyed this recipe. However next time I think I will add a second apple because while this was excellent as made, it didn't taste anything like apple pie! Like another revieweer I made the sweet potatoes in the microwave. It's faster and easier and the sweet potatoes are mashed at the end anyways so it doesn't matter if they're soft when they are peeled. I used sugar substitute in place of the sugar. All in all a very tasty dish. A definite keeper

This was really good - exactly what I was looking for: semi-sweet but also tastes super healthy. I used 1/4 C brown sugar instead of 1/2 C white, and probably more like 1/4 C milk. I also added about 1/4 C applesauce, because I wanted to make it a little sweeter (since I used less sugar) and also thinner. Also about 1/2 tsp salt. I love it, but I think following the original recipe would garner superb results as well.

This is an awesome recipe! Easy & delicious, plus a little different than the normal sweet potato/brown sugar/marshmallow standby. Will definitely make these again.

great! Microwaving the potatoes for 10 minutes saves so much time. While microwaving them, I was able to cook the apple so it is all done at the same time. I didn't have allspice. I think if I used a mixer it would have a baby food texture so I used a fork which is also less clean up. It was a good side dish for the pork chops I made.

I thought this was very tasty. My 3 year old loved it and had 3 helpings. I didn't use any milk and used sweetener instead of sugar, also added a sprinkle of nutmeg.

These were delicious! I used more sweet potatoes and apples though. I used 4 sweet potatoes, 2 apples, and 1/4 cup BROWN sugar (just goes better with sweet potatoes). I also added 1/4 tsp. nutmeg, and didn't use any milk (didn't need any). I left the peel on my apples, and would do that again! I beat the potatoes very well (so no lumps), then added the apple mixture. These go super well with pork tenderloin or pork chops. Thanks for the recipe!

Excellent recipe! Now I understand the rave reviews! I was planning to make a casserole with my leftover baked potatoes, but this was much better. Did not need the milk, used brown sugar & only about 2 Tb., did add some toasted coconut for topping. I just used a fork to combined, liked the bits of apple & potato. Will definitely make again & again. Might try throwing in some quick-cooking oatmeal before mixing, too. Thanks for this recipe!

Sweet potatoes aren't really popular where I live, but they're change from regular potatoes and really healthy. I really like this recipe, I wasn't interested in the marshmellow ones.

This was good but more like a dessert than a side dish! I thought it had too much cinnamon in it but otherwise it was quite delicious. My 4 year old loved it!

Pretty good! I put a good a good helping of brown sugar in in and a little nutmeg with the cinnamon and the flavor was just lovely. Didn't have granny smith so i used some kind of french apples.. texture was a bit stringy for some reason, but I still might make it again.

Yummy and healthy! To take it one step further, I peeled the apples and diced them and added 1/3 cup applesauce to the apple/sugar mixture. Once everything was put together in a casserole dish, I sprinkled a packet of Maple Brown Sugar instant oatmeal on top. I sprinkled cinnamon on top of that and covered the top in little pieces of butter. I baked it in the oven at 375 for 1 hour and oh my it was delicious!
