ingredients
- 4 large yams
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1⁄2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 1⁄2 cups apple juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 2 large apples, peeled, cored and sliced (1/2 inch thick)
directions
- Boil yams for 30 minutes or until tender yet firm. For a quicker method, poke holes in the yams and microwave on high for 10 minutes.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the cornstarch and brown sugar. Whisk in the apple juice, lemon juice, cinnamon, and allspice. Bring to a boil stirring occasionally. Boil 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
- Preheat over to 375°F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- Peel cooked yams and cut into 1/3-inch slices.
- Place a single layer of yams down into greased baking pan. Second layer will be your sliced apples. Repeat with another layer of yams.
- Dump sauce over top of yams.
- Cover pan with tinfoil and bake for one hour. Remove foil and continue baking for another half hour. Baste every half hour to prevent the yams and apples from drying out.
- ENJOY!

Amazing, love the sauce, not too sweet, and I added a little more lemon to give it more tang... love this recipe... thanks!

I was having a diabetic friend over for dinner - made the recipe without any sugar and it was fabulous with pork tenderloin.

I did not have apple juice so I used orange juice instead. These are very good. My husband really liked this. I did not layer just mixed everything together. I may reduce the sugar next time just a little. The baking time was perfect. Thanks for the recipe.

This was delicious! Made it for dinner tonight and there isn't much in the way of leftovers. My husband is already requesting it again. I think this would also work really well with butternut squash. (Reviewed for Fall 2009 PAC)
