Best Mashed Yams And Apples Recipes

SWEET POTATO AND APPLE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with water.
• Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are just starting to soften. You don't want them to cook until soft because they will continue to cook during the baking process.
• Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 9x13" casserole dish with non-stick spray.
• Drain the potatoes and place them into the prepared baking dish.
• Add the apples to the casserole dish.
• In a small bowl mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice.
• Pour mixture over the apples and potatoes and stir to combine.
• Add to the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and top with pecans.
• Add back to the oven and cook for 5 minutes more to toast the pecans.

YAM AND APPLE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• 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.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• 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.
• Alternate layers of yams and apples in the prepared baking dish. Pour the apple juice mixture over the layers.
• 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.

SMUSHED APPLES AND SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Place the sweet potato in a medium saucepan and fill with enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat, drain and set aside.
• Melt butter over low heat in a small saucepan. Mix in the sugar, cinnamon and allspice. Add the apple slices, cover, and let simmer for 5 minutes, or until the apples are tender. Mix the apple mixture into the drained sweet potatoes along with the milk. Mix well using an electric mixer or just a fork until potatoes are mashed.

MASHED YAMS AND APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Boil yams in pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 20 minutes. Add apple; cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well. Place yams and apples on large baking sheet. Bake until slightly dry, about 10 minutes. Blend yams and apple in processor until smooth. Add butter and spices; blend until butter melts. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Chill.) Transfer mixture to medium saucepan. Stir yams over medium-low heat until hot.

SMASHED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Scrub the potatoes, prick them several times with a knife or fork, and bake them for 1 hour or until very soft when pierced with a knife. Remove from the oven and scoop out the insides as soon as they are cool enough to handle. Place the sweet potato meat into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and add the orange juice, cream, butter, brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mix together until combined but not smooth and transfer to a baking dish.
• Bake the potatoes for 20 to 30 minutes, until heated through.

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES AND APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes generously with some olive oil, salt, cinnamon and cayenne. Lay the sweet potatoes out on a sheet tray, place them in the oven and roast until they are very soft and mushy, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Peel the apples and cut into 1-inch dice. Toss the apples with the lemon juice, some olive oil, salt and the rosemary. Lay them out on a sheet tray and place in the oven during the last 15 minutes of the cooking time for the sweet potatoes. When done, the apples should be soft and cooked through but still hold their shape. Sprinkle the walnuts over the apples during the last 5 minutes in the oven.
• Transfer the sweet potatoes to a large bowl and coarsely mash them with a potato masher. Stir in the cooked apples and walnuts. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
• Serve immediately or keep in a warm oven and serve hot.

• Roast drained yams on a cookie sheet for 20 minutes until they are mostly dry and very lightly browned.

• Enjoy!
