How to Make Excellent Yam And Apple Casserole
- Peel and chop 2 lbs yams into 1-inch chunks.
- 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.
- While yams cook, prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) of butter over medium heat.
- Whisk in 1/4 cup cornstarch until smooth.
- 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.
- Bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until thickened.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Peel and thinly slice 3 medium apples (about 1.5 lbs).
- Layer half of the cooked yams in the prepared baking dish. Top with the sliced apples.
- Layer the remaining yams over the apples.
- Pour the sauce evenly over the casserole.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
- 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.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
