Apple Pecan Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

bullet

2 medium sized sweet potatoes

bullet

1/3 cup coarsely chopped pecans

bullet

2 TBSP butter

bullet

½ Rome Beauty apple, chopped

bullet

3 TBSP golden raisins

bullet

¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar

bullet

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

bullet

Dash of nutmeg

Bake potatoes at 400 for one hour or until done.

Heat nuts in skillet for 5-6 minutes and set aside.

Melt butter in 8" skillet. Add apple and raisins and sauté 2-3 minutes. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Remove from heat.

Cut Potatoes in half lengthwise; scoop pulp into large bowl, leaving shells intact. Add apple mixture to pulp in bowl; stir until blended. Spoon the mixture into the shells. Place on baking sheet.

Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Top with nuts.

NOTE: This is in the October 2007 Southern Living. It is half the given recipe and was plenty, with a salad, for us for dinner. I did stir the nuts into the mixture rather than sprinkle them on top. It did not call for marshmallows on top, but my husband commented that would be good, too.
