How to Make Sweet Potatoes With Caramelized Apples

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Roast for 50-60 minutes, or until tender, flipping halfway through.
  4. While sweet potatoes roast, prepare the apples: In a medium bowl, toss sliced apples with 2 tablespoons of sugar.
  5. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apple mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are golden brown and caramelized (about 10-15 minutes).
  6. Once sweet potatoes are tender, remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  7. Transfer the roasted sweet potatoes to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
  8. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and heavy cream. Mix on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  9. Stir in applesauce and ginger. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Transfer the sweet potato mixture to an oven-safe dish.
  11. Top with the caramelized apples.
  12. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  13. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
