Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large sweet potatoes
1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed
2 tablespoons vegan margarine (such as Earth Balance®), melted
⅓ cup maple syrup
2 large apples - peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1 pinch cinnamon, or to taste
1 pinch ground cloves, or to taste
½ cup apple juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through but still firm, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove sweet potatoes from oven; leave oven on. Allow sweet potatoes to cool until safe to handle; peel and cut into 1/2-inch slices.
  • Coat a deep 1 1/2-quart baking casserole with oil. Arrange 1/2 the sweet potato slices on the bottom. Drizzle with 1/2 of the melted vegan margarine followed by 1/2 of the maple syrup. Top with apple slices and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon and cloves. Repeat layers. Pour apple juice on top. Cover casserole with a lid or aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the hot oven, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove lid or aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes more. Serve immediately or cover and keep warm until serving.
