Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes
**disclaimer** yes, I realize honey isn't vegan, but I also realize that not all of my readers are vegan! The original recipe includes honey, but I have also included a vegan alternative :)
1 apple, cut into small cubes
1 large sweet potato, cut into medium cubes
honey (or any sweet vegan alternative, like agave nectar or similar syrupy sweetener)
1 tbsp brown sugar
cinnamon
nutmeg
allspice
mixed nuts (walnuts, almonds, and cashews are the best)
1. Mix the apple, sweet potato, honey/vegan alternative, spices and brown sugar.
2. Pour mixture into a deep casserole dish.
3. Bake in the oven at 425 for 20 minutes until the sweet potato is soft and brown.

Great recipes!
I've been trying to perfect a no sugar added apple pie filling recipe and this definitely gives me ideas. I've been experimenting with using organic apple ciders as a filling start and sweetener with success.
as for pie crusts, I'd even recommend Earth Balance brand marg since it's actually vegan and they have sticks as well which cut into the dough better, I've found.
yeah earth balance is the margarine i use as well. and thank you! :)
