What could be easier then soft baked sweet potatoes wedged between tender sweet apples. All the work is in the peeling and a quick sauce to brush on them an you are done. My kind of recipe, EASY and Delicious without a lot of work.
This recipe can also be made a day ahead and reheated when you want it. Simple simple simple and perfect every time.
Even if you decide to leave the honey out, the sweetness from the apples are pure delight!
