Description

A rich potato puree with caramelized apples on top (though I would recommend using both caramelized apples and marshmallows, and they both add something different!) Served it for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it.

Ingredients

4 pounds sweet potatoes
¼ cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 apples (such as McIntosh or Macoun) - peeled, cored, and cut into 8 pieces
3 tablespoons light brown sugar

Directions

1. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add sweet potato, cover, and steam until soft, about 1 hour. Scoop the meat from the skin, transfer to a bowl, and smash using an electric mixer or wooden peg.
2. Stir 1/4 cup brown sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon into smashed sweet potatoes; allow to cool.
3. Stir cream, orange juice, 1/4 cup unsalted butter, salt, and pepper into smashed sweet potatoes; transfer to a baking dish.
4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
5. Melt 3 tablespoons unsalted butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir apples and 3 tablespoons brown sugar in the melted butter until lightly browned on both sides, 5 to 10 minutes. Spoon caramelized apples over smashed sweet potatoes.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 20 minutes.
