Sweet Potatoes With Apples


Recipe courtesy of Land O'Lakes, Inc.
Serving Size: 8 servings
8 medium sweet potatoes or yams
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
2 medium (2 cups) tart cooking apples, peeled, cored, coarsely chopped

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Prick sweet potatoes with fork to allow steam to escape. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until fork tender. Cut thin lengthwise slice from top of each sweet potato; scoop out inside, leaving thin shell. Place shells on 15x10x1-inch jelly roll pan; set aside.

2. Place hot sweet potato and all remaining ingredients except apple in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed and no lumps remain (2 to 3 minutes). By hand, stir in apples.

3. Fill reserved shells with sweet potato mixture*. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through.

*If desired, do not stuff shells. Spoon hot sweet potato mixture into serving bowl.
