Ingredients:  
3 pounds sweet potatoes (about 4 large)
1 cup pecans
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for dish
3/4 cup agave syrup, preferably amber
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Place potatoes on backing sheet and cook the potatoes whole, do not pierce. Bake for 45 minutes to one hour. Lightly squeeze the potatoes - if they are soft, they are done. Let cool.

In a small sauté pan over high heat, add the pecans and lightly toast. Add 4 tablespoons of butter, reduce the heat to medium, add the agave and spices, and allow to simmer for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the whiskey and continue to simmer for 5 minutes more.

Peel the potatoes and cut into 1/2 inch slices. Butter the bottom and sides of an 8 by 8 inch baking dish. Arrange the sweet potatoes, alternating with apples. Pour the whisky-pecan mixture over the top and place in the oven.

Bake for 30 minutes, basting the top with the whiskey sauce once at 15 minutes.

Remove and serve immediately.
