Recipe: Sweet Potatoes and Apples

1 medium - large sweet potato
1 medium organic Granny Smith apple
1/2 cup bone broth or chicken broth, preferably homemade since bought broth generally contains MSG
1/2 teaspoon organic cinnamon (non organic spices are commonly irradiated, organic are not)
1/16 - 1/8 teaspoon stevia powder

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Cut potato into 1/2 - 3/4 inch chunks
Cut apple into slightly smaller chunks
Place sweet potato and apple chunks into small casserole dish and mix.

In a separate container, mix bone broth, cinnamon and stevia. Stir until completely dissolved. Pour over the sweet potato and apple mixture. Stir thoroughly.

Bake at 350 degrees F for about an hour or until sweet potatoes are soft, stirring periodically.

This recipe is delicious cold too and makes a great snack.

I modified this recipe from the book, Ayurvedic Cooking For Westerners. It has been a family favorite for years.

This recipe has a lot less sugar than the original recipe, but still has the same flavor and a mild sweetness. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less stevia. However, care must be taken when using powdered stevia since it is extremely sweet and it's easy to get too much.
