Directions

Step 1

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch chunks.

Step 2

Grease the inside of the crock pot with a small amount of butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Pour the apricot mixture over the sweet potatoes, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and scatter them over the top of the mixture.

Step 7

If using pecans, sprinkle them on top for added crunch and flavor.
