A Very Sweet Crock of Potatoes

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place in the crock pot.

Combine the brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and applesauce in a small bowl and mix well. Pour the applesauce mixture over the sweet potato cubes and mix gently.

Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 3-4 hours or until the sweet potatoes are tender.

When ready to serve, melt the remaining butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the chopped pecans and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.

Serve the sweet potatoes topped with the buttery pecan mixture.
