While roasting, melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add diced apples and dried cranberries along with cinnamon, nutmeg, and coconut sugar. Sauté for several minutes while stirring occasionally until the apples soften.

Spoon generous amounts of apple-cranberry filling onto each sweet potato half. Return the stuffed sweet potatoes to the oven for an additional 10 minutes at 425°F so that everything warms through and becomes bubbly on top.
