How to Make Smashed Sweet Potatoes With Apples
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Scrub sweet potatoes thoroughly and pierce several times with a fork.
- Bake for 1 hour, or until very soft when pierced with a fork. (Baking time may vary depending on the size of your potatoes)
- While potatoes are baking, prepare the orange cream sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together orange juice, heavy cream, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter, brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
- Remove baked sweet potatoes from the oven and let cool slightly (about 15 minutes).
- Once cool enough to handle, cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh into a large bowl.
- Using an electric mixer (or a potato masher for a chunkier texture), mash half of the sweet potatoes.
- Add half of the orange cream sauce to the mashed sweet potatoes; mix until combined but still slightly chunky. Transfer to a large greased baking dish.
- Repeat steps 7 and 8 with the remaining sweet potatoes and sauce.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
- Add apple wedges and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to the skillet.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until apples are tender and lightly caramelized.
- Arrange caramelized apples evenly over the top of the sweet potato mixture in the baking dish.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
