Apple Yam Casserole

I always love yams on Thanksgiving but my family never makes it, so I decided I’ll make it this year! I saw almost everyone wrote to precook yams or they won’t cook in the amount of time on directions. So I steamed them for about 30-45 min till they were soft. I also saw a lot of people saying the sauce wasn’t enough so I doubled it and that there should be more apples so I added one more. It came out ok. Flavor good but I felt it had too much sauce. Maybe 1 1/2 times the sauce would have been ok. To me it tasted more like a dessert. Like an apple pie without the crust. Not sure if I’d make this version again tho it was pretty and different than normal Marshmallow yams.

This took far longer to cook than stated, however I did not pre cook the potatoes as others have. First I covered the dish with parchment paper and then foil(acidity in lemons will eat foil) then baked til almost soft(about an hour) removed the foil and continued to bake another 20 minutes as stated. It turned out pretty darn good. I would make this again

My family and I loved this recipe. I found that the sweet potatoes needed extra time in the oven. Next time I'll cook them first, then add the apples and sauce. For a sweeter dish the sauce could easily be doubled. My wife who doesn't like sweetened vegetables even raved!
