Apple Bacon Sweet Potatoes

OK, if you are still looking for a side dish for Thursday's dinner, take a look at this.   I am a big fan of bacon and am learning to love turkey bacon as well.  This would be a new version of an old standby.

1 large onion, chopped
4 slices lower sodium turkey bacon
1 1/2lbs. sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite sized pieces
2 apples, chopped
1/2 C. apple juice
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 C. chopped pecans

Heat oven to 375 degrees.

Cook onions and bacon in a large nonstick skillet on medium heat 7 to 8 minutes or until onions are crisp tender.

Place potatoes in a 13x9 inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.  Add apples, apple juice and cinnamon; mix lightly.  Top with onion mixture; cover.

Bake for 40 minutes; top with nuts.  Bake 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
