Ingredients
  

For the Sweet Potatoes
  • 3 medium Sweet Potatoes The creamy base of the dish; offers a wholesome sweetness.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Adds richness to the filling; substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
For the Filling
  • 2 cups Diced Apples Granny Smith and Honeycrisp work beautifully.
  • 1 cup Dried Cranberries Provide chewy bursts of tartness; raisins or chopped dried cherries are great alternatives.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Infuses warmth; nutmeg can work as a cozy substitute in smaller amounts.

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Scrub and dry the sweet potatoes, then pierce them several times with a fork. Roast for 40-45 minutes until very tender.
  2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced apples, dried cranberries, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and coconut sugar. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until apples soften.
  3. Stir in chopped pecans and sauté for an additional minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. When sweet potatoes are baked, let them cool for 5 minutes. Slice each potato lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork.
  5. Spoon the apple and cranberry mixture into each halved sweet potato. Arrange on a baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
