Introduction
I was looking for a way to add sweet potatoes to my diet (they are very healthy and high in potassium). I came up with this recipe. It's very tasty and great when I am craving something sweet.I've estimated the portions of ingredients as best I can. I never really measure things when I make this, so you may want to change the proportions a bit to suit your taste. Just remember that buttery spread and walnuts are high calorie, so don't go crazy

Ingredients
-
1 Large sweet potato
5 tsp Brown sugar
2 T butter or butter substitute
2 oz unsweetened apple sauce
1/2 oz walnuts (about 7 halves)
1/2 oz raisins ( about 30)
sprinkle of cinnamon
Directions
Peel and cube one sweet potato - about 1 inch square pieces
In a small bowl put about one tablespoon of melted butter or butter substitute ( I use smart balance original). Add enough brown sugar to make a thickish paste and then add about 2 oz of unsweetened apple sauce (about half of one of those individual cup servings). Sprinkle with cinnamon and mix.
Put sweet potatoes and raisins in a pan and toss with sugar/apple sauce mixture. Cover and cook in oven at 375 degrees for one hour.
In a small skillet melt about 1 tablespoon butter substitute and mix in brown sugar to make a thick paste. Add as many walnuts or pecans as you like and cook for about 5 min over lowish heat.
When sweet potatoes are done cooking put them in two small desert bowels and spoon the walnut sugar mixture over the top. You can also add a bit of granola on top if you like.
