How to Make Apple Filled Sweet Potato

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and pierce 2 large sweet potatoes several times with a fork.
  3. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. While sweet potatoes bake, prepare the apple filling:
  5. Peel and chop 1 medium apple (about 1 cup).
  6. In a medium bowl, combine chopped apple, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and the zest of 1/2 orange.
  7. Once sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch border.
  8. Mash the sweet potato flesh with a fork.
  9. Gently mix the mashed sweet potato with the apple filling.
  10. Spoon the mixture back into the sweet potato skins.
  11. Place filled sweet potatoes on a baking sheet.
  12. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and slightly browned.
  13. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
