Oh papergoddess, this was fabulous! Didn't make many changes except we used fresh yams (I can't find canned ones here). My Australian hubby thought canned sweet potatoes were mashed so he mashed ours. They were still deeeeelicious! Great recipe. Thanx!

Made this to go with our Easter ham. I really liked the flavor of the applesauce with the sweet potatoes. I usually do the brown sugar/nut topping and this was a nice change.

I was looking for a recipe for sweet potatoes that wasn't as sweet as most and tried this. Glad I did - its great! Really easy to make - I used only 1/4 c. brown sugar, but otherwise followed the recipe. Absolutely delicious and a big hit at thanksgiving dinner.
