How to Make Excellent Yam And Apple Casserole

  1. Peel and chop 2 lbs yams into 1-inch chunks.
  2. Boil yams in salted water for 20-30 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Alternatively, microwave in a microwave-safe dish for 8-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  3. While yams cook, prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) of butter over medium heat.
  4. Whisk in 1/4 cup cornstarch until smooth.
  5. Add 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 cup apple juice, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice.
  6. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until thickened.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  8. Peel and thinly slice 3 medium apples (about 1.5 lbs).
  9. Layer half of the cooked yams in the prepared baking dish. Top with the sliced apples.
  10. Layer the remaining yams over the apples.
  11. Pour the sauce evenly over the casserole.
  12. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
  13. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, basting every 10 minutes with the pan juices to prevent drying, until the top is lightly browned and the casserole is bubbly.
  14. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
