I came up with the idea of combining the yams and apples when I had all four generations for dinner one Thanksgiving. Everyone loved it from GreatGrandmas on down to my (then) 2 year old granddaughter.
Ingredients:
5 medium yams or 3 large yams or 3 large sweet potatoes
2 apples, i use granny smith
4 -5 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 cup raisins, that have been soaked in
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
Directions:
1. Add yams to a pot of boiling water, cover and after allowing water to return to a boil, cook for 30-35 minutes.
2. Rinse in cold water.
3. Remove the skins from the yams.
4. Cut into 1/4 inch slices.
5. Quarter the apples and cut into 1/4 inch slices.
6. Spray a large rectangular or oblong pan with cooking spray of your choice.
7. Layer the yams and the apples.
8. Pour the orange juice over both layers.
9. Dot with butter or margarine if desired.
10. Top with the raisins.

12. You can adjust these amounts to your own personal preference.
