Very good recipe. Since I am the only one in my household who eats sweet potatoes, I portioned this recipe into individual servings which I froze on a cookie sheet and then placed in individual ziplocks in my freezer to enjoy whenever I please.

Made this wonderful dish for Thanksgiving. However, we substituted the milk with Capt. Morgan's Spiced Rum and even drizzled a little more on top before putting in the oven to heat. Was great. Next time I plan on doing some roasted pecans, granola and butter for a crunchy top.

We loved this! I used a golden delicious apple instead of a granny smith (I think a granny smith might be a little too tart for my tastes), brown sugar instead of white, added an extra tbp of butter & added 1/2 tsp of ginger. I started my apples when my potatoes came to a boil & took them off the heat when they were done. That way they were done when the potatos were. I skipped the milk all together...didn't think it was necessary. Thanks Elfindancer...this was very good!

Oh Yum! This is a wonderful recipe. My family loves sweet potatos - even the little ones. Everyone devoured this recipe! And it is even more scrumptious with just a little butter on top. I have a sweet potato casserole I make for special occasions because it takes more time, but I honestly like this recipe better (and it's healthier than my other recipe). I love the subtle apple taste mixed with the sweet potato. The best thing about it is that it's quick and easy! I ALWAYS make my sweet potatos in the microwave, whether eating them plain or in a recipe. For this recipe, poke holes in the potatos, wrap in a paper towel, and cook about 8 minutes. Then, just scoop out the flesh and mash. It's super easy and FAST! I've always found it hard to peel sweet potatos, so the microwave is a good alternative.

I thought this was delicious. I didn't cook the apples long enough that they "mashed" along with the potatoees, but I didn't think that mattered. I liked the bite of apple flavor mixed in with the sweet potatoes. This is wonderful and healthy on its own, but buttered, it's heavenly!

This was very good. My daughter loved it, my husband was so-so but he is not a sweet potato lover. I added a little extra butter when simmering the apples. I would not add the milk until you have begun to whip the potatos. The apples produce some juice which adds moisture. You run the risk of them being too watery. Add the milk later if needed. All in all a good recipe. It had a nice sweet and tart flavor that was different than your average mashed sweet potatos.

Family really liked it - ate it all, which is rare in our house. I used brown sugar instead of white.

excellent side dish...i didn't put quite as much sugar as called for and omitted the milk completely...it would have made this batch very mushy and too wet for my liking. everyone enjoyed it, even 6 year old who has never eaten more than her "no thank you" bite of sweet potato! will be making at thanksgiving this year.

Even my 2 and 4 year olds ate this (with some butter mixed in). So, it gets a 5 from me. I didn't have a granny apple, so used golden, but we all liked it and will make again. Great with pork!!
