I’m really loving your posts, please keep them comming, Thank You.
I made this for Thanksgiving this year, but instead cut the apples and sweet potato in wedges. If you opt to do this, skip the boiling of the sweet potatoes. It was easier to do, not as pretty, but more of the brown sugar mixture coated everything and still super tasty!
Awesome follow up tip, thanks Nicole!
