I only needed to use one large apple. Since there was so much syrup left over, I dumped in 1/2 cup of chopped pecans and coated them, then placed that on top of the sweet potatoes and apples. SPECTACULAR! Can't wait for my family to try this today! It looks and smells wonerful.

Noteworthy, that's an awesome idea! I love pecans and it would add a healthy amount of protein and good fats to the dish. Would you mind if I altered the recipe with your addition?
