How to Make Apple Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
- Wash and pierce 2 large sweet potatoes several times with a fork.
- Microwave on high for 12-15 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the size and power of your microwave.
- Let sweet potatoes cool slightly.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Once cool enough to handle, carefully cut a thin slice (about 1/2 inch) from the top of each sweet potato.
- Gently scoop out the flesh of the sweet potatoes, leaving about a 1/4-inch border, being careful not to tear the skin.
- In a medium bowl, combine the scooped sweet potato flesh, 2 tablespoons of butter, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 medium apple (peeled, cored, and diced), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Mix well.
- Carefully spoon the mixture back into the sweet potato skins.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped pecans over the stuffed sweet potatoes.
- Place the stuffed sweet potatoes in a baking dish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the stuffing is heated through and the pecans are lightly toasted.
- Top with the remaining 1/2 cup chopped pecans before serving.
