Steps:
- Cut the sweet potatoes crosswise into 1-inch-thick rounds. Halve or quarter any extra-large pieces so that they are all similar in size.
- Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a small bowl. Add the sugar mixture to the Dutch oven and whisk until it forms a paste. Add the potatoes and stir well, spooning the sugar mixture over the potatoes to coat evenly.
- Cover and cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally and gently to avoid breaking them up, until they are just tender when pierced with the tip of a knife and the sauce resembles a thin syrup, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and toast until dark brown with a light scent of roasted nuts, about 8 minutes. Season the pecans with some salt while warm, let them cool completely and coarsely chop.
- Transfer the potatoes with their sauce to a large serving platter and sprinkle the pecans over the top.

MOM'S CANDIED YAMS WITH CARAMEL
I took my mom's childhood candied yam recipe and added a layer of caramel. It is now a must at every Thanksgiving and Christmas and is often requested with much anticipation by anyone who has had it. One recipe will serve 6, but barely. I promise there won't be leftovers. If you're going to feed 6 or more, I suggest doubling the recipe in a 9x13-inch pan.

Tips:
- For a sweeter casserole, use sweeter varieties of apples, such as Honeycrisp or Gala. For a tarter casserole, use Granny Smith or Braeburn apples.
- If you don't have a citrus zester, you can use a microplane or the fine side of a cheese grater to zest the lemon.
- Be sure to use fresh nutmeg for the best flavor. Pre-ground nutmeg will not have as much flavor.
- If you don't have a casserole dish, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Cover the casserole with foil when baking to prevent the top from getting too brown.
- Let the casserole cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Conclusion:
Candied yam and apple casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tart flavors of the apples and yams complement each other perfectly, and the crunchy pecan topping adds a nice finishing touch. This casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
