Healthy Recipe: Sweet Potato and Apple Stacks

They make the perfect appetizer for two.

We may be well past fall, but there’s still time to stock up on crisp apples and sweet potatoes during the holidays. We whipped together a super simple recipe that makes use of that delicious produce before they go out of season. 

All it requires is one tater and one apple—plus a little bit of playing with your food to make the final tasty treat.
