Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1 large apple diced
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter softened
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • Salt to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes or until tender.
  3. Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly, then slice them in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl, leaving a small border intact.
  4. In the mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato flesh, cranberries, diced apple, brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, and maple syrup. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  5. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness with additional salt and brown sugar if needed.
  6. Spoon the filling back into the sweet potato skins, mounding it slightly at the top.
  7. Return the filled sweet potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until heated through.
  8. Serve the twice-baked sweet potatoes warm, garnished with extra cranberries or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
