I tried this one and was little dissappointed. Nothing was wrong with the dish just not to my taste. went together easy and held well in the oven. if you want something different with that same old sweet potato give this one a try as it does have some good points and flavors just didnt mix well on my palate. Thanks for the recipe and the opportunity

These sweet potatoes are so good with the apples. I did add a bit to much lemon juice so I had a tangy taste but still enjoyed! Used grated whole nutmeg for the topping and it was wonderful.
