Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork and bake for 45-50 minutes until soft.
  3. Allow the sweet potatoes to cool for about 10-15 minutes on a cooling rack.
  4. In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add diced apple and cranberries, sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
  6. Cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh into a bowl, leaving a 1/4-inch thick shell. Mash with half of the cranberry apple mixture.
  7. Spoon the mashed sweet potato mixture back into the shells and top with the remaining cranberry apple filling.
  8. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes until heated through and slightly golden on top.
