This dish was just okay. I wasn't a huge fan of the applesauce topping. I think I would have preferred it with a different topping, such as a maple syrup glaze.

The sweet potatoes were a bit undercooked for my taste. I would recommend cooking them for a few minutes longer.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less applesauce or maybe even no applesauce at all.
