Instructions
- Step 1:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub sweet potatoes, pat dry, prick all over with a fork, and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 45–50 minutes or until fork-tender.
- Step 2:
- Meanwhile in a medium skillet over medium heat melt the butter. Add diced apple and cranberries. Sprinkle in cinnamon nutmeg and a pinch of salt. Cook stirring occasionally for 4–6 minutes until apples are softened and cranberries begin to burst. Remove from heat.
- Step 3:
- Once sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle cut them in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out most of the flesh leaving a 1/4-inch border inside the skins for structure.
- Step 4:
- In a bowl mash the sweet potato flesh. Add the apple-cranberry mixture and maple syrup. Stir gently until just combined—do not over-mash some texture is ideal.
- Step 5:
- Spoon the filling back into the sweet potato skins. Sprinkle with chopped pecans if desired and drizzle with a little extra maple syrup.
- Step 6:
- Return the filled potatoes to the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes until heated through and tops are golden. Serve warm.
