While the sweet potatoes are boiling, in a large skillet cook the onion and the apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thin, with salt and pepper to taste in the butter over moderate heat, stirring, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the apples are very tender. Drain the sweet potatoes well, in a food processor puree them with the apple mixture until the mixture is smooth, and with the motor running add the creme fraiche, the nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste, and enough hot water to thin the pure to the desired consistency.
