Tips and Techniques for the Best Sweet Potatoes and Apples
- If you prefer a sweeter recipe, you can swap in a sweeter apple variety like Fugi or Gala.
- Try to cut your sweet potatoes and apples into as evenly-sized pieces as possible. This will help them all cook at the same rate so that you don’t end up with mushy or hard pieces.
- Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Use within 4-5 days.
