I love baked sweet potatoes. I am not fond of the sweet potato casserole with marshmallows. So I made this combo and its fabulous! I hope you enjoy it throughout the holidays. Being easy to make it's a great time saver too!

1

Preheat oven to 425°F.
2

Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Wrap each in a sheet of tin foil.

Cook for 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours. Just until tender. I check after an hour by poking with a knife on top.

Make the topping when potatoes are just done. You want a nice hot topping.

In a frying pan over medium heat, melt butter.

Add all the ingredients and stir well.

Cook several minutes until apple becomes tender.

Top each with half of topping. Enjoy!
