How to Make Whipped Sweet Potatoes With Apples
- Peel and cut 2 pounds of sweet potatoes into 2-inch cubes.
- Steam the sweet potatoes in a steamer basket over 1/4 cup of boiling water, or in a microwave-safe dish covered with a damp paper towel, for 10-15 minutes, or until tender.
- Transfer the cooked sweet potatoes to a large bowl.
- Add 2 tablespoons of canola oil and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup to the hot sweet potatoes. Mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth and creamy.
- Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, or to taste.
- Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.
- Spread the mashed sweet potatoes evenly in the prepared baking pan.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the microwave.
- Peel, halve, and core 2 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji).
- Slice each apple half crosswise into thin (1/8-inch) slices.
- Arrange the apple slices in overlapping rows on top of the sweet potatoes.
- Brush the apples lightly with the melted butter.
- Bake uncovered at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are heated through and the apples are softened.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Sprinkle with freshly grated nutmeg before serving.
