Sweet Potatoes with Apples and Walnuts

This is a healthier version of the traditional sweet potato casserole.  A seasonal must!

4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced

1 cup chopped walnuts

1 cup sweetener (I use maple syrup)

1/2 cup vegan margarine (Earth Balance)

1 t cinnamon

1/2 t salt

1/4 t ginger

1/4 t cloves

1/4 t nutmeg

Blanch the sweet potatoes in salted boiling water for 5 minutes or until slightly tender, but not cooked through.  Rinse with cold water and drain thoroughly.  Place the sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl with the apples. 

In a frying pan, combine remaining ingredients, except walnuts.  Boil for at least 1 minute, then add walnuts.  Boil for at least another minute.  Pour mixture over potatoes and apples and mix well.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes covered and 15 minutes uncovered.
