Sweet Potatoes with Apples

Twice-baked sweet potatoes, subtly flavored with orange peel and nutmeg.

Prep: 30 min – Bake: 1 hr 15 min

8 medium sweet potatoes or yams
1/2 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 medium (2 cups) tart cooking apples, peeled, cored, coarsely chopped

Heat oven to 350°F. Prick sweet potatoes with fork to allow steam to escape. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until folk tender.

Cut thin, lengthwise slice from top of each sweet potato; scoop out inside, leaving thin shell. Place shells on 15x10x1-inch jelly-roll pan; set aside.

Place hot sweet potato and all remaining ingredients except apple in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed and no lumps remain (2 to 3 minutes). Stir in apples by hand. Fill reserved shells with sweet potato mixture. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through.

Makes 8 servings

TIP: If desired, do not stuff shells. Spoon hot sweet potato mixture into serving bowl.
