Notes
- This dish makes a sweet sauce, if you want your dish less sweet then you can try using 1 tablespoon. If you are using a tart apple like a Granny Smith, you may want to include up to a 1/4 cup brown sugar.
- I microwaved the sweet potatoes for this recipe. If you prefer you can peel and boil the sweet potatoes for 15-20 minutes until fork tender.
