Apple Cider & Pumpkin Pie Spice

Instead of granulated sugar in the sweet potatoes, we added 1/2 cup of apple cider. This reduced the simple carbs and also added the natural fiber from the apples. Then we took out one of the milks to equalize the liquid in the recipe. Added 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice to the pumpkin and mixed it into all wet ingredients. We also used less fat in the crumble topping and just sprayed the top with a spritz of regular pam to get it to brown nicely. This reduced the fat. After the first dish of this re-worked reciped disappeared overnight, I doubled it the next time.

Made this dish on Thanksgiving Day. My 2 daughters LOVED it. Said it was a Keeper. I did use fresh sweet potatoes however in place of canned. We enjoyed.

recipe changes

I changed the sugar with Splenda and the brown sugat in the topping to Splenda Brown Sugar. I use light margarine with fewer calories. My family loves it and can't tell the difference.

Sugared

It may be low in fat but why all the sugar. The sweet potatoes are in syrup then more sugar. How can this be healthy? It has way too many carbs
