• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 0.25 cup pecans (optional, chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and apples. Slice both into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

Step 3

Grease a medium baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 4

Layer the sweet potato slices and apple slices alternately in the baking dish so they overlap slightly.

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and orange juice until well combined.

Step 7

Pour the butter mixture evenly over the layered sweet potatoes and apples.

Step 8

Cover the dish with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes.

Step 9

After 30 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle the optional chopped pecans over the top.

Step 10

Bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 11

Serve warm as a side dish, and enjoy!
