Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a kettle, combine the sweet potatoes with enough water to cover by 1 inch and boil for 35 minutes, until tender.

Step 2

Drain the sweet potatoes and let them cool until they can be handled. The sweet potatoes may be prepared in advance and kept chilled overnight.

Step 3

Peel the sweet potatoes, cut them lengthwise into sixths, and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces.

Step 4

Peel, core and cut the apples lengthwise into sixths and crosswise into 11/2-inch pieces.

Step 5

In a large heavy skillet cook the apples in the butter over moderate heat, stirring, for 3 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice, the brown sugar, the cinnamon and the sherry. Bring to a boil, and simmer 3 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and cook, stirring gently, for 2 minutes, until heated through.

Step 6

Transfer to a heated serving dish.

This is a darling of a sweet potato recipe, so good! Love the inclusion of apples and with the sherry, brown sugar, etc. adds the YUM factor. Made us feel like it was a holiday, which yeah, I'm making it for when the Holidays are here. Thank you, Mikekey, for sharing.

Wonderful recipe that we served with pork chops. I didn't have as much lemon juice as specified and instead of sherry I used apple juice -- delicious!

Excellent recipe. The sherry gives the sweet potatoes a bit of spark and the apple goes so well with them I followed the ingredients, cut back to one potato, but I cooked it with all the steps in one. - I peeled and cut up the raw sweet potato, put the pieces in a buttered oven proof dish, added the prepared apple, lemon juice, dotted with butter. Sprinkled on the cinnamon and brown sugar. Drizzled with sherry and bake in a 375 oven for 35 minutes. I flipped the potatoes several times while baking. Wonderful! We loved it! So Easy and so good
