I'm scribbling down ingredients to make this on Saturday. Hmmm, apples, sweet potatoes, butter, sugar...maybe I'll toss in a handful of pecans, just because I can, LOL!

I can justify the squash carbs and the apple..... but this was a lovely balance! I bet you'd love it, and I was soooo tempted to throw walnuts or pecans on it, but then the family would huff and puff and blow my house down... so I desisted. But they'd be excellent mixed in with this!Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-9894312745201821532013-10-03T19:28:55.849-04:002013-10-03T19:28:55.849-04:00Virginia, you'll love it.

I still love cooking with Cortlands or Crispins (Mutsus) for the majority of things because they have such a dependable taste no matter how ripe they are.

I'm just excited ...Any apple would work, Kav... I'm just excited about Zestar becaue they're like honeycrisps, only earlier and with a sweet tang and crunch that makes you love them! But any apple will work. What amazed me was how the apple juice cooked right into the sweet potatoes. Wonderful! And how the blend was perfect. We thought of a streusel topping, but why add unnecessary calories and carbs to something wonderful? That would make it more dessert-like, but I'll tell you, this was just amazingly good. And the kitchen smelled heavenly for the 1/2 hour or 40 minutes it took. Just wonderful!!! #totalfallexperience<br /><br />:)Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-23498921420507222072013-10-03T08:26:38.598-04:002013-10-03T08:26:38.598-04:00This is brilliant!
