I'm a big fan of the sweet potato, so this recipe was a real draw for me! And since I'm always making my own applesauce, this was a cinch & very tasty, too, I might add! SPs, apples & cinnamon ~ a great combination! I did, however, see f flaw in the directions you gave. If you're gonna scoop the finished product into a serving bowl, of what value are the scooped out potato shells? So, I spooned the potato & apple combo into the shells for a great presentation! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's Pick A Chef event]
