Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potato
- 1 large apple
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 foil sheets
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Core and slice the apple into thin wedges.
Lay out two large sheets of foil on a flat surface.
Divide the sweet potato slices evenly between the two foil sheets, arranging them in a single layer.
Top the sweet potatoes with the apple slices and fresh cranberries, dividing evenly between the packets.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon over each packet.
Add a pinch of salt to each packet, then dot each with 1 tablespoon of butter, distributed in small pieces.
Fold the foil over the ingredients, sealing the edges tightly to form a packet.
Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for steam!) and serve the contents warm.
