My Grandma shared this recipe with me and it's been a favorite of mine every year at Thanksgiving. It's by far better than any other yam side dish I've had. (I don't like yams and marshmallows.)

Time 1h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 sweet potatoes
6 large apples - peeled, cored and sliced
1 ¼ cups white sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
2 ½ cups water
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place the sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until just tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Peel and cut into 1/2-inch slices; layer the sweet potatoes and apples into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the sugar, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a saucepan. Stir in the water and butter and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook and stir until thickened and no longer cloudy, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour over the sweet potatoes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the apples are very tender and the sweet potatoes are golden on top, about 1 hour.
