Instructions: Mix flour, salt, pepper, and thyme and rub inside and outside the animal. Place on rack in roasting pan. Add the wine and water, cover tightly, and roast in a preheated 350 degree oven for about an hour.

Pour off all but a cup of the liquid. Lay the sweet potatoes in the pan, cover, and continue roasting 45 minutes. Now lay in the cored and halved apples amid the sweet potatoes and sprinkle both fruit and vegetables with a mixture of the sugar and the spices.

Continue to roast, with the roaster now uncovered, for another 30 minutes, or until the possum is tender.
