Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pierce each with a fork multiple times. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Bake the sweet potatoes for 45–50 minutes until tender. Once done, remove from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add butter, melt it, and then add diced apple and cranberries. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until apples are tender.
  4. Stir in maple syrup and cook for an additional 2 minutes to enhance flavors.
  5. Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, leaving a thin layer to maintain structure. Mash the flesh and mix with the cranberry apple filling.
  6. Refill the sweet potato skins with the mixture, packing tightly, and add the remaining filling on top.
  7. Bake again on the baking sheet for 10–12 minutes until heated through and slightly golden.
  8. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your cozy fall dish!
