Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and poke several holes in each sweet potato.
  2. Place the poked sweet potatoes directly onto the oven rack or on a baking sheet and bake for 45 to 55 minutes.
  3. While the sweet potatoes are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add diced apples and cook for 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Stir in maple syrup, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, and a pinch of salt. Cook for another 2 minutes.
  5. Remove sweet potatoes from the oven, let cool, and slice open lengthwise, fluffing the insides gently.
  6. Spoon the warm apple mixture into the fluffed sweet potatoes.
  7. Sprinkle chopped pecans and dried cranberries over each stuffed sweet potato, serving warm with Greek yogurt or whipped cream.
