Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and prick them several times with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 45 minutes or until tender.
- Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly, then slice them in half lengthwise and scoop out most of the flesh into a mixing bowl, leaving some around the edges for structure.
- Add fresh cranberries, chopped apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, and salt into the mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Spoon the mixture back into the potato skins generously. Place them on your baking sheet and return to the oven for another 15-20 minutes at 350°F (175°C) until golden brown on top.
