I halved the recipe to serve with pork tenderloin. I opted for the granny smith, which baked up deliciously. I would probably increase the butter/cinnamon sauce next time. But, I did not find it really sweet as the other reviewer did.

This was very, very good. It's quite sweet, almost dessert-like (think candied yams sweet), but we still enjoyed it with some spicy and lemony dishes to provide some good contrast. I used white sweet potatoes and sweet apples. Also, I must confess, even though this is not a complicated recipe, I managed to do it wrong the first time, somehow totally forgetting the sugar, butter, and cinnamon. It's still rather nice that way though, so if you're watching fat or calories, you can safely cut those back. If not though, I recommend the way it's written; the butter adds a bit of richness. I'm looking forward to making this again at our next barbecue. Thanks!
