Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 apples (preferably tart)
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup butter or coconut oil for dairy-free
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chopped toasted pecans (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Bake un-pierced sweet potatoes on a baking sheet for 40-45 minutes until soft. Allow to cool.
- While baking, peel, slice, and core the apples. Drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Remove skins from cooled sweet potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices. Layer sweet potatoes and apples in an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt honey, butter (or coconut oil), cinnamon, and vanilla until combined and fragrant.
- If using pecans, toast them on a parchment-lined baking sheet under broil for about 5 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour the honey mixture over the layered sweet potatoes and apples; sprinkle with toasted pecans if desired. Bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes until heated through.
