EXCELLENT YAM AND APPLE CASSEROLE



Excellent Yam and Apple Casserole image

My mom made this casserole for Easter dinner. The dish received rave reviews from everyone including my 2 year old!

Provided by AngAustinBrody

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 2h10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large yams
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups apple juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
2 large apples, peeled, cored and sliced (1/2 inch thick)

Steps:

  • Boil yams for 30 minutes or until tender yet firm. For a quicker method, poke holes in the yams and microwave on high for 10 minutes.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the cornstarch and brown sugar. Whisk in the apple juice, lemon juice, cinnamon, and allspice. Bring to a boil stirring occasionally. Boil 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
  • Preheat over to 375°F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Peel cooked yams and cut into 1/3-inch slices.
  • Place a single layer of yams down into greased baking pan. Second layer will be your sliced apples. Repeat with another layer of yams.
  • Dump sauce over top of yams.
  • Cover pan with tinfoil and bake for one hour. Remove foil and continue baking for another half hour. Baste every half hour to prevent the yams and apples from drying out.

Tips:

  • Choose the right yams: Look for yams that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid yams that are soft or have bruises or cuts.
  • Peel the yams carefully: Use a sharp knife to peel the yams, being careful not to cut into the flesh. You can also use a vegetable peeler.
  • Cut the yams into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too large, they may not cook through, and if they are too small, they may overcook and become mushy.
  • Parboil the yams: Parboiling the yams before baking them will help them cook more evenly and prevent them from drying out. To parboil the yams, simply place them in a pot of boiling water and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Use a variety of apples: Different apples will give your bake different flavors and textures. For a sweet and tart bake, use Granny Smith apples. For a sweeter bake, use Honeycrisp or Fuji apples. For a more complex flavor, use a mix of different apple varieties.
  • Add spices and herbs to taste: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all classic spices that pair well with yams and apples. You can also add fresh herbs, such as rosemary or thyme, for a more savory flavor.
  • Don't overcook the bake: The yams and apples should be tender, but they should still hold their shape. Overcooking the bake will make the yams and apples mushy.

Conclusion:

This yummy yam and apple bake is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The yams and apples are roasted together with a sweet and savory sauce, creating a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying. This bake is also a great way to use up leftover yams and apples, making it a budget-friendly and waste-free recipe.
