Notes
*I've made this recipe several times, but recently cooked the sweet potatoes and apples on separate baking sheets with the sweet potatoes on the bottom rack of the oven. It turned out the best I've ever made it. So you can try separating the two different fruits if you're OK with washing 2 pans!
The roasting time may vary with the number of sweet potatoes and apples you use as well as your oven, so be sure to check how soft the pieces are when you stir them and adjust the amount of time in the oven if necessary.
If you like your apples crisper, you will want to add them to the pan after 20 minutes. If you want them to be soft like the sweet potatoes, you'll need to add them after 15 minutes.
