- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 cup chopped, toasted pecans or hazelnuts (optional)
Preparation:

- Grease a 9 inch pie pan or an 8×8 or similar size shallow baking dish with a little of the oil.
- In a small bowl mix together the orange juice, maple sugar, oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and salt. Set aside.

- Spoon half of the juice mixture evenly over the apples.
- Layer on the other half of the potatoes and then the apples.

Notes:
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
*Try to find long thin sweet potatoes. If you can’t then cut the potato in half before thinly slicing to make layering easier.
