Ingredients

1 (8-ounce) sweet potato
3 tablespoons light sour cream
2 tablespoons marshmallow creme
1 teaspoon sweetened flaked coconut
1/2 tablespoon chopped pecans
4 teaspoons drained, crushed pineapple
4 dried apricot halves, chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Wash the sweet potato, pat dry and pierce in several places with a fork.
Bake 45 to 50 minutes or cook in a microwave oven on high (100 percent power) 5 minutes to 7 minutes, or until tender when pricked with a fork. Let cool slightly.
Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl; blend well. Working lengthwise, slice sweet potato in half. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh leaving a 1/4 inch shell of the flesh in each half.
Place the scooped-out potato in a bowl, mash lightly with a fork; add about half the pineapple mixture; blend well.
Spoon this mixture back into the potato halves and top each with the remaining pineapple mixture.
