      Sweet Potato-Apple Bake

      Rated

      Ingredients

      6 sweet potatoes or yams
      3 firm, tart apples
      2 tbsp olive oil
      1/4 tsp cinnamon
      1/8 tsp ground cloves
      Salt to taste (optional)

      Preparation

      Preheat oven to 350°F

      Scrub sweet potatoes or yams and cut into chunks or slice into 1/2-inch rounds, peel, core and slice the apples. Place sweet potatoes and apples in a baking dish.

      In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, cinnamon, ground cloves, and mix well.

      Drizzle oil and spices over potatoes and apples. Mix gently to coat potato-apple mixture evenly with oil. Cover dish and bake in preheated oven 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until tender. You will probably find that this dish doesn't need any salt, but feel free to add some to taste.
