Roasted Apples & Sweet Potatoes

Preheat oven to 425ºF.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, add water, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon. Stir until well blended, cooking just until combined. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, add cubed sweet potatoes, apples, melted butter, and cooled syrup mixture. Stir well to coat sweet potatoes and apples. Transfer to a baking dish, cover tightly with foil, place into the oven and roast 15 minutes. Remove foil, lower oven temperature to 400ºF and roast an additional 5 minutes (add optional raisins and pecans, if desired).

Serve with your favorite main course. We love these with ham, chicken, turkey or pork.

Enjoy!
