1/4 cup orange juice

 

Wash sweet potatoes and prick in several places with a fork.  Microwave on High for 8 minutes.  When cool enough to handle, peel and cut into 1/2" slices.  In a small bowl combine sugar, orange zest, nutmeg and salt.  In a deep 1 1/2 quart microwavable dish, layer alternate slices of potatoes and apples; sprinkle with sugar mixture then orange juice.  Microwave on high for 6 minutes (mixture should be piping hot and apples should be tender)
