Smashed Sweet Potatoes and Apples image

Looking for ways to cut down on the number of dishes that require oven time on Thanksgiving, I devised a sweet potato dish that can be made ahead in a slow cooker. It's not too sweet, and it makes a perfect side for turkey or ham. -Judy Batson, Tampa, FL

I'm allergic to apples. Do you have any suggestions for a substitute?

I would love to try this recipe, but I don't have any apples on hand. Do you think I could substitute another fruit, like pears or bananas?

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes.

This dish was a disappointment. The sweet potatoes were dry and the apples were mushy.

These smashed sweet potatoes and apples were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try adding less sugar next time.
