Ingredients
  

For the Sweet Potatoes
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes These provide the creamy base for our vibrant flavors.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup tart cranberries Their tanginess perfectly balances the sweetness of the potatoes.
  • 1 cup diced apples Choose a crisp variety like Granny Smith for a refreshing crunch.
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil Use butter for richness or olive oil for a vegan-friendly dish.
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar A hint of sweetness to enhance the natural flavors of the filling.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon This warm spice adds depth and coziness to the dish.
  • salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spoon

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to create a cozy environment for baking. Rinse the medium sweet potatoes under cold water to remove dirt.
  2. Place the rinsed sweet potatoes directly on the oven rack or a lined baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes until the skin is slightly caramelized and a fork easily pierces through the flesh.
  3. Once baked, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 10-15 minutes. Cut each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl.
  4. Add the tart cranberries, diced apples, butter or olive oil, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
  5. Spoon the filling back into the sweet potato skins, packing it gently to fill each half evenly.
  6. Place the stuffed sweet potato halves back in the oven for an additional 20 minutes to golden slightly and heat through.
