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.

I love the combination of sweet and savory in this dish. The apples and spices really make the yams shine.

This dish is perfect for a fall dinner. The yams and apples are both in season and they taste delicious together.

Overall, this was a good dish. I would definitely make it again, but I would make a few changes to the recipe.

The yams were a bit too mushy for my liking. I think I would have preferred them to be a little more firm.

This dish was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar in the sauce.

I'm not a big fan of yams, but this dish was surprisingly good. The apples and spices really helped to balance out the flavor of the yams.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover yams. I added a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg to the sauce and it was delicious.

Easy to make and delicious! I used Granny Smith apples and they were perfect. The yams and apples were both cooked perfectly.

This dish was a hit with my family! The yams were perfectly tender and the apples added a nice sweetness. I will definitely be making this again.
