SWEET POTATO APPLE SURPRISE

Ingredients:

2 ea Medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced between 1/4 and 1/8 an inchthick
3 to 4 ea Granny smith or greening apples, peeled, cored and sliced
½ cup Dried cranberries, Raisins are nice also, but use some cranberries for flavor
½ cup Brown sugar, or more if you like it sweet
½ tsp Cinnamon
½ tsp Lemon juice
1 foot by two foot piece of aluminum foil
1 ea Cookie sheet or other flat pan

Directions:

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lay the aluminum foil out on the cookie sheet and place all of the ingredients in the middle of the foil. Mix up the apples and sweet potatoes and place the brown sugar and cinnamon on top. Drizzle one half teaspoon of lemon juice over the whole thing.

Carefully pull up the sides of the aluminum foil and fold them over on each other so that you have sealed the packet and bake for one hour, or until the veggies are tender.

This makes a wonderful side dish for meat, or our gang seems to like it for desert.

Options:

You can use whole cranberries instead of the dried ones, but you will have a lot more moisture in the package. Try opening the package a little during the last 15 minutes of baking. Also any dried fruit will work well in place of the dried cranberries.
