CANDIED SWEET POTATOES WITH APPLE
From Light and Tasty Magazine...submitted by H. Grant. My family really enjoyed this recipe this past holiday season. Most commented they liked it because it did not have marshmallows and also loved the addition of apple. I think it would be good with a handful of dried cranberries sprinkled on top too.

Steps:
- Place sweet potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil.
- Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain.
- In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, apple juice, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg; set aside.
- Arrange cooked sweet potatoes and apple slices in an 8-inch square baking dish coated with non-stick spray. (This is where I would add the dried cranberries too).
- Drizzle brown sugar mixture over the potatoes and apples.
- Bake, covered, at 350 degrees F, for 25 minutes.

Tips:
- For sweeter yams, choose varieties like Jewel, Garnet, or Beauregard.
- Pierce yams with a fork before baking to ensure even cooking.
- Wrapping yams in foil before baking helps them to steam and become tender.
- Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
- Be sure to peel and core the apples before slicing them.
- Add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to taste.
- If you want a sweeter dish, add some brown sugar or maple syrup.
- Serve candied yams and apples as a side dish or dessert.
