Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil in a large saucepan and add sweet potatoes and salt. Boil slices for 6 – 7 minutes, or until just tender. Remove sweet potatoes from the heat and with a slotted spoon transfer them to a 13″ x 9″ baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray. Add apple slices and stir to combine.
In a small saucepan, combine butter, nutmeg, maple syrup and apple cider over medium heat. Stir and bring just to a boil, then remove from heat. Pour over sweet potato mixture and scatter with pecans.
Place in oven and bake 25 – 30 minutes, or until glaze thickens, sweet potatoes and apples are tender, and pecans turn light brown.
