Sorry about that. I thought I put it in. The temperature is at 375.

Is this a dessert or a main dish?
I reckon (and hope) it’s a little from column A and a little from column B…
I made the dish with the intent of it being a side dish, however you can make it whatever type of dish you want. All my recipes can be easily changeable. 🙂
Great flavor but sauté of apples prior to baking made them overcook, unless I goofed. I microwaved the sweet potatoes whole after poking several times which is my preferred way of preparing them; only takes a few minutes. After removing the skins they were perfect for tossing with the apple/spice mixture. Great recipe and so quick to make! Thanks!
What temperature do you bake it at? I didn’t see it in the recipe and I am no good at guessing things like that. Thanks:)
