Sweet Potato Apple Crisp-For those of us who have been celebrating holidays for decades and making the food that is the center of the celebration, we have a basic drill that we go through, and usually prepare the same dishes each year.  In some ways, the fact that the menu is predictable and set, is something that everyone looks forward to.  As the years have gone by, we have focused more on healthy eating by choice,  and of course, a gluten free diet by necessity.   My mother’s sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving and Christmas were canned, loaded with butter and brown sugar, and amazing.  I have used fresh sweet potatoes myself for many years, cut down on fat and sugar and have been very pleased with our sweet potato side dish.

Honestly, I didn’t really think that there were many variations on basic sweet potatoes, but oh, was I wrong.  This sweet potato dish with apples, dates and topped with maple glazed pecans is not your mother’s sweet potato side dish. It is so delicious, it could almost be your holiday dessert.  I made it in the Instant Pot, and feel like that gave it an even better flavor, was ready in less than thirty minutes and doesn’t take up your oven space.  Vegan, gluten free and diary free.
