Recipe of the Month: Greek Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

2 medium baked sweet potatoes

8 tablespoons brown sugar

½ teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup raisins (optional); currants, craisins or dried cherries are good, too!

1 cup apples thinly sliced

3 tablespoons melted coconut oil

¾ cup slivered almonds 

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 F and spray a 2-quart casserole dish with coconut oil.
2. Cut sweet potatoes crosswise into ½-inch slices. Combine brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl. 
3. In the casserole dish, place a layer each of potatoes, apples and raisins. Sprinkle with sugar mixture. Toss slivered almonds in melted shortening, drain and top the casserole with nuts.
4. Cover and bake at 375 F for 35 minutes. Remove the cover, and bake for 10 minutes, or until the top is browned.
