Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1 juicy apple, diced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork and bake on a baking sheet for 45-50 minutes until soft.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add diced apple and cranberries. Stir in nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Cook until the fruit softens and releases juices.
  3. Allow baked sweet potatoes to cool slightly, then slice them in half lengthwise. Scoop out most of the flesh into a bowl while leaving enough to maintain their shape.
  4. Mix the sweet potato flesh with half of the cranberry apple filling. Spoon back into potato skins and top with remaining filling.
  5. Return stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven for an additional 10-12 minutes to warm through.
