Slow Cooker Sweet Potatoes and Apple Sauce Recipe

Sweet potatoes are one of the healthiest vegetables on the planet. Not only are they pretty low in calories, but they are PACKED full of all kinds of nutrients.

Sweet Potatoes help to reduce inflammation, they are known to help to lower cholesterol, they are said to aid in fertility, help boost your immunity, fight diabetes...the list goes on and on.

I always like a little texture in my dishes, so the chopped pecans added just enough crunch. You can definitely omit them for allergy or palate reasons, but I wouldn't recommend it!
