Fall in a Side Dish

What is better than the smells of Autumn? Personally, I love the fall: the air smells crisper, the trees vividly display their colors, the days are warm and the evening are chilled enough for a fire. Oh, Fall is beautiful!

One day I stumbled over this side dish with apples and sweet potatoes. My husband came home while it was in the oven and said, "It smells like Fall in here!" Ever since then, this side dish as been called "Fall in a Side Dish".

Fall In A Side Dish (Baked Apples & Sweet Potatoes)
4 medium apples, peeled
3 medium OR 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled
3 Tablespoons of butter, metled
1/2 - 1 Tablespoon of cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350F. Chop up the apples and sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes, ensuring that they are all the same size in order to bake evenly.
Toss with butter, then toss with cinnamon.
Line a baking sheet with foil and bake for 15 minutes, tossing after 7 minutes. Poke with a fork after 15 minute to see if they are done. If still hard, bake another 5 minutes and check again.
Serves well with roasted chicken, or grilled pork chops.
