Scalloped Yams and Apples image

I used to waitress at a Stouffer's in Columbus, Ohio where they served this. It was so good, I decided to create my own version and it's been a part of our Thanksgiving and Christmas meals for over 25 years now!

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 1h25m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (30 ounce) can sweet potatoes, drained, save liquid, and cut into bite sized chunks
2 medium tart apples, peeled, cored and cut into thick slices (I usually use Granny Smith)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • In a 1 quart buttered (or use Pam) casserole, alternate layers of potatoes and apples.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter, stir in brown sugar and spices.
  • Add half of reserved sweet potato liquid and bring to a boil.
  • Dissolve cornstarch in remaining potato liquid and add to pan.
  • Lower heat and simmer while stirring until thickened.
  • Pour over layered potatoes and apples until top layer is almost covered.
  • Bake, covered, at 350°F for 1 hour.
  • You may uncover during the last 15-20 minutes of baking time if the sauce needs thickening.
  • This freezes well.
