Smashed Sweet Potatoes and Apples image

Looking for ways to cut down on the number of dishes that require oven time on Thanksgiving, I devised a sweet potato dish that can be made ahead in a slow cooker. It's not too sweet, and it makes a perfect side for turkey or ham. -Judy Batson, Tampa, FL

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my smashed sweet potatoes and apples turned out more like a mushy mess. Maybe I cooked them for too long?

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I added a bit of chopped bacon and it was delicious!

Not a fan of sweet potatoes, but I loved this dish! The apples and spices really balanced out the sweetness of the potatoes.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the results were disappointing. The sweet potatoes were dry and the apples were mushy.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try using less apples next time.

I've tried many smashed sweet potato recipes, but this one is by far the best. The apples add a wonderful sweetness and texture.

These smashed sweet potatoes and apples were a hit! The combination of sweet and savory was perfect, and the apples added a nice crunch. I'll definitely be making this again.
