1 can(s) 21 oz. apple pie filling
2 can(s) 29 oz. each drained whole sweet potatoes
4 Tbsp butter
ground nutmeg, to taste
chopped walnuts

Tips:

  • If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the apples and yams by hand. Just be sure to grate them finely so that they cook evenly.
  • Be sure to use fresh apples and yams for the best flavor. Avoid using apples that are too soft or bruised, as they will not hold their shape when cooked.
  • You can add a variety of spices to the casserole to taste, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. You can also add a bit of lemon zest for a brighter flavor.
  • If you want a sweeter casserole, you can add more brown sugar or maple syrup. You can also add a layer of streusel topping before baking.
  • Be sure to cover the casserole with foil when baking. This will help to prevent the top from browning too quickly.
