Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by peeling the sweet potatoes and cutting them into even-sized chunks, about 1 to 2 inches thick.
  2. Carefully add the sweet potato chunks to the boiling water and cook for about 15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter and coconut oil over medium heat. Add in the honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, and kosher salt, stirring until well blended.
  4. Carefully pour in the whiskey, stirring the glaze to combine thoroughly and simmer for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the cooked sweet potatoes with the diced apples, ensuring even coating with the glaze.
  6. Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish. Preheat your oven to 350°F and bake for 40-45 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  7. Once golden, allow to cool for a few minutes before serving to help the glaze set.

Notes

For best flavor, let the glaze simmer until slightly thickened; this enhances the sweetness of the honey and depth of the spices.
