Apple Yam Delight

An all new way to enjoy the natural sweetness of Yams. Not a casserole...not a side dish. It's a delicious dessert that you can serve hot, cold, alone or topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Anyway you serve it, it's Yamtastic! This recipe comes from Princella. I found this recipe in Woman's Day magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping.

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 4-5

Ingredients

• 16  ounces  princella  yams, cut in bite size
• 16  ounces  chunky style applesauce
• 1  teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1⁄3 cup butter or 1⁄3 cup margarine

• Topping

• 3⁄4 cup dark brown sugar
• 4  tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3⁄4 cup  instant oats

Directions

1. Arrange a little less than half of the apple sauce in a 6"x10"x2" baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Spoon 3 tablespoons of the topping over the apple sauce base. Evenly arrange the Princella Yams. Add the remaining apple sauce to cover yams. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Add the rest of the topping and spread evenly. Bake at 350 until heated throughout (30-40 minutes). Serve hot, plain, or for a special touch, top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
2. Topping: Mix together rolled oats, flour and brown sugar. Cut in butter until evenly mixed and crumbly.
