Sweet Potatoes, Apples & Pecans

Recipe from my Exercise Class Teacher, Sandy Barnes
Makes six servings

Four medium size sweet potatoes
Two Granny Smith apples (I used Golden Delicious - they get rather soft)
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup walnuts (I doubled the recipe but kept the nuts to 1 1/2 cups and used pecans instead)

Peel, slice and quarter sweet potatoes
Peel, core and chop apples (I used one of those push down apple wedge slicer and cut each wedge in half.)
Place potatoes and apples in a large greased baking dish (the standard size Pyrex bowl works fine for this amount)
Sprinkle apples and potatoes with cinnamon and then pour oil and syrup over them. Mix well and place walnuts (or other nuts) on top. (You might want to pour about 1 teaspoon of syrup over nuts for a glazed effect.)
Cover dish at bake 1 hour + 20 minutes at 350 degrees until potatoes are tender.

Wish I had this recipe in preparing Thanksgiving dinner. This sounds like a winner... and so easy. Bet it smells great as it cooks, too! V

Oh, I think my family would love this. I use my grandmother's recipe and it's a huge hit, but I may mix it up a little with this, too.

It was very easy since the potatoes go in uncooked. Came out exactly perfect. Couldn't have been easier (unless I got my husband to peel the potatoes and apples).
