Great recipe and very easy to make. I used dark brown sugar and craisins wrapped in foil and put in a 9" square pan. Cooked for 1 hour at 400. Reheated the next day very well. Thinking of adding this to my Thanksgiving menu next year. Will definitely cook again. Read More

Excellent. I made this in a 9x13 glass pan. I also had to let it cook about 45 minutes total to cook the sweet potatoes as other comments suggested. I used Craisins for the cranberries. I wrapped it up in a 'hot wrap' to take 1.5 hours to a family gathering and it was great when we got there. It also tastes good cold the next day! Not much left however! Read More

It's easier to wrap individual portions: one potato half an apple and serve the packets that way. Mine took closer to 45 minutes to cook. Good flavor! Read More

Great recipe! I did omit the brown sugar and cut back on the cranberries (less than 1/4c) to reduce the sugar and added some chopped pecans. Delicious! I will be making this again. Read More

Easy after the peeling. I couldn't figure out how to core the apples and make rings so I sliced them. Read More

I did sub fresh cranberries for dried ones; did not need additional sugar for our taste. This is a great flavor combination and will be using this one over and over! Read More
