With the sweet potato being near the top of the list in foods high in nutrition, we add in a few other healthy foods like apples, nuts, raisins, and honey for a delicious, nutritious dish.
I use the following for a 6-quart crockpot. You can adapt as necessary.
Fill the crockpot with peeled, sliced sweet potatoes and apples. I generally use about twice as many sweet potatoes as apples.
Add:
1 c. chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
1 c. raisins (optional)
On the stove, heat up the following:
1/2 c. butter
1/2 - 1 c. (raw) honey or pure maple syrup
1 T. grated orange peel
2 t. salt
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. ginger
Pour evenly over the sweet potatoes and cook on low all day or high 4-6 hours. Alternately, you could bake at 350 deg. for one hour.

I finally made this last night. Brandon and I liked it a lot. It was a good side. We both agree that making it without the sweet potatoe and adding whipped cream on top would make a really great dessert.
