Slow cooker sweet potatoes/yams with applesauce

(6) Medium/3 lbs. sweet potatoes/yams, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
3 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped nuts, toasted; optional
Ground cloves, ginger, allspice, nutmeg to taste

Place sweet potatoes in 2- to 3 1/2 quart slow cooker. Mix remaining ingredients except nuts; spoon over potatoes.
Cover and cook on high heat setting one hour. Then three hours on low or until potatoes are very tender.
Sprinkle with nuts if using. Makes 6 servings.
Recipe can be doubled.
To toast nuts, bake uncovered in ungreased shallow pan in 350 degrees F oven about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.

Or cook in ungreased heavy skillet over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.

To thicken sauce:
Remove cooked potatoes, cook on high setting for 15 minutes or until thick.
