In a small skillet melt butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook until softened about 8 minutes. Add brown sugar zest salt cumin cinnamon pepper and allspice. Cook until sugar melts about 2-3 minutes.

Combine onion mixture with mashed sweet potatoes. Stir in sour cream and cilantro.

Spoon or pipe mixture back into shells. Place on baking sheets; bake until filling is just set and tops begin to brown about 15 to 20 minutes.
