Hauswarming Sweet Potatoes and Apples

I am not big on German foods. I don't eat bratwurst because I was deeply scarred by the number of bratwurst I had to thaw out for weekend golf scrambles when I worked at the golf course. I don't care for sauerkraut, although I keep reading I should be eating it.

But there are a few German flavors I am a big fan of! This dish incorporates sweet potatoes and apples with a little bit of sweetness from cinnamon and clove. The combination is like a big warm, inviting hug. That would be a really messy hug so I suggest just eating it curled up on your couch with the fireplace roaring in the background.
