Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes generously with some olive oil, salt, cinnamon and cayenne. Lay the sweet potatoes out on a sheet tray, place them in the oven and roast until they are very soft and mushy, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Peel the apples and cut into 1-inch dice. Toss the apples with the lemon juice, some olive oil, salt and the rosemary. Lay them out on a sheet tray and place in the oven during the last 15 minutes of the cooking time for the sweet potatoes. When done, the apples should be soft and cooked through but still hold their shape. Sprinkle the walnuts over the apples during the last 5 minutes in the oven.
- Transfer the sweet potatoes to a large bowl and coarsely mash them with a potato masher. Stir in the cooked apples and walnuts. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Serve immediately or keep in a warm oven and serve hot.
Tips:
- For a crispier texture, roast the sweet potatoes and apples separately.
- To make the dish ahead of time, roast the sweet potatoes and apples up to 2 days in advance. Store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
- If you don't have maple syrup, you can substitute honey or brown sugar.
- For a vegan version of this dish, use a plant-based butter or oil instead of butter.
