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.

Recipe Yield

1 9x13-inch baking dish

Recipe Note

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.
