I tried to cut corners and used frozen sweet potato. Not worth it, you should definitely just get fresh veggies! Other than that, it was nice, I added a little sugar, salt, and nutmeg to the apples. No specific measurements, just eye balled. All together it's interesting. Lots of different flavors and textures that I don't mind but you may need to rethink if you struggle with food textures since there is a lot all mixed together.
