Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 3 large apples - peeled, cored and sliced
• 4 large yams
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1.5 cups apple juice

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Step 2

Place yams in a large saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook 30 minutes, or until tender but firm. Drain, peel, and cut into 1/3 inch thick slices.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the cornstarch and brown sugar. Mix in the apple juice, lemon juice, cinnamon, and allspice.

Step 4

Alternate layers of yams and apples in the prepared baking dish. Pour the apple juice mixture over the layers.

Step 5

Cover, and bake 1 hour in the preheated oven. Remove cover, and continue baking 30 minutes. Baste frequently with the juices from the pan to prevent drying.
