December 4th....Sweet Nutty Potatoes

1 lb sweet potatoes
1 cup applesauce (you can use the individual ones)
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp grated nutmeg
Butter

Boil the potatoes with the skins on until they are tender. Drain and remove from heat and peel the skins off.  Slice in 1 1/2 inch circles and layer in 2 1/2 quart baking dish.

Heat oven to 375 degrees
You can overlap. Pour the applesauce over the potatoes, smooth across potatoes.  Sprinkle sugar, spices and nuts over sliced potatoes, then place pats of butter all over potatoes.  I put small pats on each slice on top.  Cover and Bake 30 minutes.

Oh my these are so yummy.  I served with baked white fish and frozen corn.

I peeled mined but you could leave the skins on the Red Delicious if you prefer. You can do the caramel sauce two different ways. Buy a jar of Smuckers or your favorite brand of caramel sauce or make your own using sugar and butter. I made a sauce for the apples and then used the jarred caramel sauce with it.
