Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3.5 cups sweet potatoes, diced (from 3 medium sweet potatoes)
- 3.5 cups apples, diced (from 3 apples, preferably Granny Smith)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Melt Butter: Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat to prepare the cooking base.
- Cook Sweet Potatoes: Add the diced sweet potatoes to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until they are almost tender which typically takes about 10-15 minutes.
- Add Apples and Spices: Stir in the diced apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Then cover the pan and continue to cook, stirring often, until both the sweet potatoes and apples are fork tender, about another 5-10 minutes.
- Add Maple Syrup and Serve: Drizzle with pure maple syrup, stir well to combine all flavors, and serve warm as a delicious side dish or dessert.
Notes
- For a sweeter dish, use apple varieties like Fuji or Gala instead of Granny Smith.
- Cut sweet potatoes and apples into evenly sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking and avoid mushy or undercooked bits.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 4-5 days for best freshness.
