Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • While sweet potatoes are roasting, melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once pan is hot, add apples, cranberries, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar and saute several minutes, stirring occasionally until apples are tender. Add pecans and saute 1 additional minute until nuts are incorporated.
  • Split sweet potatoes open and fluff interior with a fork. Top each with apple cranberry mixture. Bake sweet potatoes at 425F an additional 10 minutes until filling is bubbly. Serve sweet potatoes warm and enjoy!
