My niece is allergic to cinnamon, so I came up with this variation of a classic sweet potato casserole with pecans recipe. This recipe is for a 3-quart slow cooker, but it can be easily doubled for a 6-quart slow cooker. I prefer to use fresh mashed sweet potatoes as it makes the recipe less sweet, but canned will also work.

This torte is tart and tangy. I take it to a lot of potluck dinners and everyone raves and begs for the recipe. It is easy and can be made several days ahead. Decorate with dollops of whipped cream, raspberries, and fresh mint leaves, if desired.

Sweet and Sour Dipping Sauce
A great sauce for dipping almost any Asian inspired dish in! Should you desire a thicker consistency than what this recipe yields, dissolve another 1/4 teaspoon of cornstarch in 1/8 to 1/4 cup of cold water. Once dissolved, stir the mixture into the sauce and continue to heat and whisk until sauce thickens.
