Roasted Apples and Sweet Potatoes image

Looking for an alternative to baked sweet potatoes, I found this wonderful recipe in Southern Living magazine. It is a great side dish for pork or Thanksgiving dinner. The hint of orange really adds some zest(no pun intended) to these everyday ingredients. If you prefer your apples crisp rather than tender, you can bake them for a little less time.
