This baked sweet potato dish is juicy, fresh, and well-loved in my house. Usually, I make it with at least two kinds of sweet potatoes. My favorite types of sweet potatoes for this dish are Jewel sweet potato and Hanna sweet potato variety, complemented by sweet apple.
Hannah sweet potatoes are slightly sweet; they are white and have a relatively dense texture similar in consistency to a regular potato. Jewel sweet potato is what you think of when you feel sweet potato. It is sweet, creamy, with a slight chestnutty flavor.
I love to spice it up with cinnamon, nutmeg, triple filtered coconut oil, black pepper, and Himalayan salt.
Keep apples aside and add oil and spices to the thinly sliced sweet potatoes. Be gentle but mix well, ensuring every slice is well coated.
Arrange sweet potatoes in an alternating pattern in the casserole dish and distribute apples evenly.
When the time is up, remove the lid, add crushed pecans, and bake for 15 more minutes; serve with love❤️ share the joy 😃
Into the preheated oven at 425 degrees for 45 minutes.

Love your food ethos, Julia,
Am planning to make baked sweet potatoes with apple and pecans.
What would you serve this with, if anything?
Thank you, dear. I’m happy you resonate with my approach to food. You can enjoy this sweet potato dish just like that with a side of salad. It works well with any rice dish, green or black lentils.
