WARM SWEET POTATO-APPLE PONE



Warm Sweet Potato-Apple Pone image

Sweet potato pone is a baked custard pudding-like dish that's something like a crustless sweet potato pie. This version is made with whole shreds of sweet potato, which is how it's often served during the holidays throughout the Caribbean and parts of the American South. It's a versatile dessert that can be made with other warming spices like ginger, nutmeg or clove, a little orange zest, or even rum-soaked raisins. This is a simplified version that replaces half of the sweet potatoes with shredded apple, which adds natural sweetness and a bit of creaminess as it cooks down. Choose from baking varieties like Honeycrisp, Fuji or Gala. Serve the pone warm from the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Categories     custards and puddings, dessert

Time 4h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, plus 2 teaspoons for greasing
1 medium sweet, crisp baking apple, such as Honeycrisp, Fuji or Gala
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and shredded (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 cup evaporated milk
1/4 packed cup/55 grams light brown sugar
1/4 cup/30 grams all-purpose flour
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease two 15-ounce au gratin pans or one 8-by-8-inch (or other similar size) baking dish with 2 teaspoons butter and set on a baking sheet.
  • Peel and core the apple, then shred the apple using a box grater. Quickly pile the shreds in the center of a clean kitchen towel and squeeze them over the sink to remove excess water. Transfer to a large bowl along with the lemon juice and toss to coat. Add the sweet potatoes, evaporated milk, brown sugar, flour, egg, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter. Stir until thoroughly combined.
  • Divide the mixture between the au gratin pans and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or transfer to the 8-by-8-inch baking dish and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until the pone is slightly puffed, golden brown at the edges and set just enough that it doesn't jiggle when you shake the pan. Let cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then serve warm with ice cream.

SWEET POTATO PONE (CAJUN)



Sweet Potato Pone (Cajun) image

This recipe comes from the 1986 cookbook, I Hear America Cooking, & although some will tell you that 'pone' should be considered a veggie side dish, others will let you know that it's definitely a dessert! Well, research tells me that, whatever else it is, centuries of cooking account for it as a sweet dessert!

Provided by Sydney Mike

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h25m

Yield 12 bars, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 lb unsalted butter
1/4 cup light molasses
1/2 cup orange juice, fresh-squeezed
1 lemon
1 orange, zest of, minced
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon brandy (or rum)
2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled, grated (raw)
2 lemons
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water

Steps:

  • FOR THE PONE: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F, then butter a 9"x9"x2" baking dish.
  • In a mixing bowl, with a hand-held mixer, cream the sugar & butter, then gradually beat in the molasses & orange juice.
  • In another container, from the 1 lemon, mince the zest & set it aside while removing & discarding the white pith from the lemon. After that, seed the lemon & chop the pulp fine, before adding this pulp to the sugar/butter mixture, along with the orange zest, eggs, seasonings & brandy, mixing well to combine.
  • Add the grated sweet potatoes & mix well, then smooth this mixture into the prepared baking dish & bake for 1 hour.
  • FOR THE CANDIED LEMON SLICES: Meanwhile, cut the 2 lemons crosswise into 1/8-inch slices & remove the seeds.
  • In a covered pan, boil the sugar with the water for 5 minutes, then remove the cover & boil rapidly until syrup reaches the soft-ball stage (236 degrees F), then remove the pan from the heat.
  • Dip lemon slices in the syrup & put them on a baking sheet to dry until ready to use.
  • As soon as the pone is done, transfer the entire pone square to a rack to cool.
  • When cooled, cut into 12 bars & top each with a candied lemon slice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will help ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Pierce the sweet potatoes before baking: This will help them cook more quickly and evenly.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender: You can check this by inserting a fork or knife into the center of the potato. If it goes in easily, the potato is done.
  • Let the sweet potatoes cool before handling: This will help prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Use a food processor or blender to make the filling: This will help to create a smooth and creamy filling.
  • Add your favorite spices and seasonings to the filling: This will help to create a flavorful dish.
  • Serve the sweet potato pone with your favorite toppings: This could include butter, syrup, chili, or cheese.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato pone is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its sweet and savory flavors, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
