 Today's recipe is a fast and easy side dish with great nutritional value.  It has such a great autumn taste with sweet potatoes, apple, and cranberries. Another tasty option is to add a handful of nuts - pecans are wonderful in it. Even though this is the perfect fall holiday dish, I eat it often throughout the year with frozen or re-hydrated dried cranberries.  I’ve even used frozen sweet potato cubes and that worked.  I would never use anything but a fresh apple for best flavor and nutrition.  I try to eat a lot of color and this dish is a perfect example.
