Ingredients
3/4 cup Mott’s® Applesauce Cinnamon
3 small sweet potatoes, scrubbed
1 egg, large
4.5 tbs light brown sugar
1/2 tsp table salt
1 1/2 tbs unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup pecans, chopped
1/4 cup raisins
1 1/2 tsp maple syrup
3/4 cup French bread, sliced and cubed into ¼-inch cubes

3. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and wire rack. Set aside.

7. Mash potato flesh with potato masher until smooth. Stir in applesauce, egg, sugar, and salt. Set aside.

 

8. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, pecans, raisins, maple syrup, brown sugar, and bread cubes.
