SCALLOPED APPLES
When I was a child, I loved eating at my grandma's house, especially when she baked this comforting apple dish. As a busy mother of seven, I'm often short on time, so I use the microwave to fix it quickly. My family enjoys its "apple pie" flavor with a meal or topped with ice cream for dessert. -Sandy Daniels, Grandville, Michigan

Tips:
- Choose the right yams: Look for firm, unblemished yams that are about 1 pound each. Avoid yams that are soft or have bruises or cuts.
- Peel and slice the yams evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the slices are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not be tender.
- Use a variety of apples: This will add different flavors and textures to the dish. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
- Don't overcook the apples: They should be tender but still hold their shape. If they are overcooked, they will become mushy.
- Season the dish to taste: This may include adding salt, pepper, nutmeg, or other spices. You can also add a bit of brown sugar or maple syrup for sweetness.
- Serve the dish hot: This is when it will be at its best. You can top it with a dollop of sour cream or whipped cream, if desired.
Conclusion:
Scalloped yams and apples is a classic dish that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its sweet and savory flavors, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
