Heavenly Baked Sweet Potatoes image

The taste of this recipe is so amazing! Everytime I fix this my family is always commenting on how wonderful it smells and can't wait to eat it! It has the wonderful aroma and taste similar to Pumpkin Pie that you always feel you are getting a special treat, yet this recipe has fruits and nuts which make it a healthier alternative. You can add Mini Marshmallows to the top after uncovering if desired.
