- 1 medium sweet apple like Gala or Honeycrisp
- 2 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice available in the spice section of the grocery story
- Pinch of salt

- Peel and cut fruit and sweetpotato into 1-inch pieces, approximately 4 cups total.
- Put fruit and sweetpotato into a microwaveable bowl, and microwave on high approximately 8 minutes or until everything is soft and tender.
- Transfer contents to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the chopping blade. Add maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice and puree mixture until completely smooth.
- Pour mixture onto the Silpat and using a regular or offset spatula, spread mixture out to the edges until evenly thin and smooth.
