Scalloped Yams and Apples

Submitted by Leslie in Texas

"I used to waitress at a Stouffer's in Columbus, Ohio where they served this. It was so good, I decided to create my own version and it's been a part of our Thanksgiving and Christmas meals for over 25 years now!"

Leslie,Had this for Easter Dinner this year and it was terrific. Everyone enjoyed it and agreed that it would be the "Standard" for sweet potatoes. I put in just a couple of dashes of cinnamon and about one dash of nutmeg. Also...a very easy recipe! Thanks, Dottie5

I originally from Ohio and vaguely remember Stouffer's restaurants. This recipe was a bit of a surprise as I wasn't sure if the flavors would work well together. Turned out great for our Christmas Eve dinner. I plan to use it again!!
