Candied Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes and apples baked together in one dish make an easy side with very little work. Granny Smith apples are the useful choice here, because their tartness cuts through the honey and the natural sweetness of the potatoes. The raisins plump in the cooking liquid, and the foil cover keeps everything steaming until tender. Nothing needs browning or stirring, so the oven does the work while you handle the rest of the meal.
Instructions
Heat the oven to 350°F and grease a 2-quart baking dish. Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them. Peel and core the apples, then slice them too.
Layer the sweet potatoes, apples and raisins in the greased dish, spreading them out so the pieces are evenly mixed.
Stir the honey, apple juice or cider and melted butter together in a small bowl. Pour the mixture over everything in the dish.
Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 to 45 minutes. The dish is ready when a knife slides easily into the sweet potatoes and the slices look glazed.
