Ingredients

  • 2 large tart apples, peeled and quartered
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
  • 4 pounds sweet potatoes (about 6 large), peeled and quartered

Directions

  • In an ungreased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish, toss the apples, lemon juice, honey, butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt and five-spice powder. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 35-40 minutes or until apples are tender, turning once.

There's a sweet layer on the top and a spicy layer under it and they blend together perfectly. ^_^
