- 2 sweet apples* – cored and cut into wedges
- 1 yellow onion – halved and sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp of Season with Spice’s Penang-style Chinese Five Spice
- 2 tbsp fresh thyme – chopped

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes, apples, and yellow onion with a mix of melted butter, olive oil, maple syrup and Penang-style Chinese Five Spice.

- Sprinkle lightly with sea salt, and serve hot.
Notes
*I used Autumn Blush apples from Fairhaven Farm – one of the most beautiful farms in our area. The apples are yellow, with a nice sweet, crunch, and are very low in acid, so they are perfect at the end of apple season when your teeth and tummy can’t handle the other varieties of orchard apples any more. Try the Autumn Blush in this recipe, or if you don’t have access to these apples, Fuji apples will work fine too.
