Sweet potatoes are a great source of fiber which helps the body maintain a healthy digestive tract and regulates digestion. It's also an antioxidant powerhouse -- rich in Vitamin A. And for my celiac friends, it's a gluten-free food option. Keep in mind however that if this vegetable produces an inflammatory response in your diet, then you should avoid it.

Clean, peel and chop the sweet potatoes and apples; place them in the crock pot. Combine the cinnamon and nutmeg with melted coconut butter and blend into the apples and sweet potatoes until they are all covered. Drizzle the maple syrup over the top of it. Cook on high for 3 hours.
Tip: Chose a sweet apple like Pink Lady, Fuji or Honeycrisp for the best flavor.
