Serves: 6
 

Ingredients:

1/3 Cup butter
1/2 Cup chopped pecans
2 Tablespoons orange juice
1 Tablespoon stone-ground mustard
1 Tablespoon honey
1 Teaspoon grated orange peel
1/4 Teaspoon salt
1/4 Teaspoon ground red pepper
3 Medium sweet potatoes
3 Small tart cooking apples -- sliced horizontally
 

Preparation:

Heat oven to 375°. In 13x9-inch baking pan melt butter in oven (4 to 6 minutes). Stir in all remaining ingredients except sweet potatoes and apples. Place sweet potatoes in butter mixture; toss to coat. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until fork tender. Add apples; spoon butter mixture over apples. Continue baking for 15 to 20 minutes or until apples are tender. TIP: Although no yams are grown in the United States, some grocery stores label orange sweet potatoes as yams. This sweet potato and apple side dish is a great accompaniment to a special menu.
