Maple Cinnamon Baked Sweet Potatoes And Apples
Ingredients
- 3 granny smith apples peeled, cored and chopped into ½” pieces
- 4 small orange sweet potatoes peeled and chopped into ½'” pieces (about 4 cups)
- 1 cup dried cranberries could also use fresh
- ⅓ cup coconut oil melted
- ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoon pure maple syrup room temperature
- 2-3 teaspoons ground cinnamon divided
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ cup chopped toasted pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 deg F. Set out a 9x13 inch baking dish
- Mix together the sweet potatoes with half the coconut oil and place into the baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes.
- Mix together the apples, cranberries, remaining coconut oil, maple syrup, spices and salt. Add this to the sweet potatoes in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle the other teaspoon of cinnamon over the top. Bake for another 20 minutes stirring occasionally.
- Remove the pan from the oven and stir in the pecans being careful since the pan is hot. Bake another 10 min or until sweet potatoes are fork tender. Remove from oven and keep warm until ready to serve.
Notes
The sweet potatoes take longer to bake than the apples do so you bake these first then add in the rest of the ingredients. I like to add in the pecans last to keep them crunchy.
