    Made this for Thanksgiving this year, using frozen cubed sweet potatoes. It was delicious!!! Smelled (and tasted) like apple pie filling. This one is a keeper! - 12/7/09

    Didn't have cranberries so I used dried cherries and cut them up a bit. I did it in the oven at 350F for an hour in a casserole dish with lid. - 6/8/10

    This was really good! I made it a little bit lighter by using Promise Activ Light Margarine instead of butter. I also used Splenda Brown Sugar Blend instead of regular brown sugar. It was great! - 2/19/08

    This was really great! I normally don't like sweet potatoes, but this was wonderful! I made it for Thanksgiving, and it was a hit. I cut the sweet potatoes into thin slices along with the apples. Would deffinetly make it again. - 11/28/07

    I liked this. Used a brown sugar & stevia blend. I also use Craisins sweetened somewhat with splenda. Easy to make. - 11/28/17

    These are delicious & so easy to make! I subbed raisins instead of cranberries, since we were out of them. Since I tripled the recipe, I cooked it in a casserole dish in the microwave for 10 min. - 11/27/14

    Delicious! I didn't have any cranberries, so I used dates. This is going to replace my other recipe for sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving! - 10/10/08

    I used yams (they were cheaper than sweet potatoes)!
    It was delicious, didn't have any left overs!
