Cranberry Apple Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 cup fresh cranberries (or frozen, thawed)
- 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- Salt to taste
- Chopped pecans or walnuts for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the sweet potatoes and pierce them with a fork a few times. Place them on a baking sheet lined with foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Once baked, allow the sweet potatoes to cool slightly. Carefully cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl, leaving a small border.
- To the sweet potato flesh, add cranberries, diced apple, brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, butter, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Spoon the mixture back into the sweet potato skins, packing it in gently.
- If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top for added crunch and flavor.
- Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until heated through and slightly golden on top.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
