Cut the sweet potatoes into quarters, then into thin slices. Steam or boil potatoes until soft, about eight to 10 minutes. In a medium-sized bowl, combine marinade ingredients. Add hot potatoes to marinade and mix gently. Steam broccoli until bright green and just tender, about five minutes. Rinse broccoli under cold water and drain well. Lay broccoli spears on top of potato-marinade mixture. Cover tightly and refrigerate for several hours. About 15 minutes before serving, stir broccoli into potato mixture. Serve garnished with green apple slices, if desired.
