Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced into 2.5 cm cubes
- 120 milliliters dried cranberries
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 218°C (425°F). Scrub the sweet potatoes clean and dry them thoroughly.
- Place the sweet potatoes in a baking dish and pierce each potato all over with a fork. Roast for 40 to 45 minutes or until very tender.
- While the sweet potatoes bake, melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced apples, cranberries, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar. Sauté for several minutes until the apples are tender.
- Stir in the chopped pecans and cook for one additional minute until evenly distributed.

- Remove from the oven and serve warm.
