A tasty sweet potato recipe topped with apple-cinnamon butter. A perfect fall side dish. I had this for lunch yesterday and it was so good, satisfying and easy to make. Who knew something so simple could be such a treat.
Sweet potatoes are very easy to make in the microwave. To prepare the sweet potato, begin by scrubbing the skin. This will help to get all the dirt off the potato. Using a fork, prick several holes through the skin of the sweet potato. This will allow the steam to escape as the potato cooks. Place the sweet potato on a paper towel in the microwave. Cook the potato on high for 8 minutes depending on the size of the potato. If the sweet potato is still hard, cook for 1-2 minutes more until it softens. Using a knife, cut a slit in the top of the potato and top with apple-cinnamon butter.
Ingredients, Apple-Cinnamon Butter
2 apples peeled and quartered
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup salted butter, softened
Directions
To soften apples, add apples to a saute pan with a 1/3 cup of water over medium heat. Cook 5 minutes then remove from heat and drain water. Allow apples to cool down a bit. Mix all ingredients in a food processor until well combined.
*The apple-cinnamon butter would also taste great spread on muffins or toast.
