Sweet Potatoes with Apples and Walnuts

Try a yummy new way of making sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving!

Ingredients:

    4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
    2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
    1 cup chopped walnuts
    1 cup sweetener (suggest 1/2 cup brown rice syrup and 1/2 cup maple syrup, but originally
    used 1 cup brown sugar)
    1/2 cup vegan margarine
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon ginger
    1/4 teaspoon cloves
    1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (freshly grated)

Directions:

Blanch the sweet potatoes in salted boiling water for 5 minutes or until slightly tender, but not cooked through.  Rinse with cold water and drain thoroughly. Place the sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl with the apples.

In a frying pan, combine remaining ingredients, except walnuts. Boil for at least 1 minutes, then add walnuts. Boil for at least another minute. Pour mixture over potatoes and apples and mix well.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes covered and 15 minutes uncovered.

Serves: 8
