Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Apple Spiced Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Wash sweet potatoes to remove dirt.
  2. Poke holes in each sweet potato with a fork. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 45-55 minutes, until tender.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Melt butter, add diced apples, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft. Add maple syrup and spices; cook for another 2 minutes.
  4. Remove sweet potatoes from oven, let cool, and slice open lengthwise. Fluff the insides with a fork.
  5. Spoon warm apple mixture into each sweet potato. Allow juices to soak in.
  6. Top with chopped pecans and dried cranberries. Optionally add a dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped cream before serving.
