If you’re a fan of sweet potatoes or yams, you’re really going to flip over this recipe. I came up with it last week for a vegetarian client of mine, and she loved it! Remember, sweet potatoes are full of nutrients that are great for you!
- Three large Sweet Potatoes or Yams
- Three Granny Smith Apples
- One Bartlett Pear
- ¼ cup Dried Cherries
- ¼ cup Dried Craisins
- ¼ cup shelled Walnuts
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- ¼ Teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 Tablespoons Chopped Italian Parsley
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions:
Bake the sweet potatoes or yams at 350 degrees for 50 minutes, or until tender in the center. Set aside to cool. Peel and chop the granny smith apples and pear. In a large sauté pan, melt the butter then add the remaining ingredients. Sauté for a few minutes until the pears and apple become tender, but not mushy. Taste for seasoning, then let cool. Split the sweet potatoes down the center and push them open. Stuff the sautéed filling in the center. Bake on a cookie sheet for 30 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
Happy Cooking,

Great idea! I love sweet potatoes
Sounds fantastic:)
Mmm this is really intriguing!
This is a brillant idea. I love sweet potatoes whipped with brown sugar and coconut this is unbeleiveable love love love it!
Dear Chuck,
I’m gonna make these for sure!
I amazingly have the dried bing cherries in my kitchen…just used them for my latest version of the Spumoni Cookie that will be baked tomorrow. They are a refrigerator cookie so they need to firm up a day before baking.
I want to feature this one on my site. I will show you how it looks when I get it up.
Would love for you to join my site and then it will be so easy to slap a recipe or two up. Then again, you are such a busy guy, I’m sure you don’t have the TIME to do that.
If some day you surprise me and I see Chef Chuck on my site, then you would make me smile from ear to ear though.
God bless and keep making amazing things in the kitchen.

Chef Chuck…this is a great combo with all those fruits stuffed in the sweet potato. Thanks for sharing. Will want to try it out . I am a great fan of sweet potato and yam
Yummy! I’ve been craving sweet potatoes, and this makes it sound like I can consider something else than just baked or mashed like normal
Thanks!
We “do” sweet potatoes like crazy down here in the south and this recipe is a winner! I’ll be trying it for sure. Many thanks for sharing it with us.
YUMMY! Never thought of adding in parsley WITH the sweet stuff!
That looks great. I love sweet potatoes.
I love sweet potatoes and am always looking for a new recipe using these wonderfully nutritious, fat-free tubers! This sounds like it’d be a special side dish indeed. Thanks for sharing!
Wow do these sound great! Why don’t more people stuff sweet potatoes as they would a traditional baked potato? Great recipe and inspiration!
Wow, this recipe is so chic. I’m so making it for my next dinner party.
