4 or 5 big yams baked. Peel and cut into 2" chunks.
Toss together:
1 1/2 tsp. fruit fresh (citric acid) 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
3 tart apples cored, seeded and sliced (not too thin a bit thicker is better)
You can peel apples or not
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Layer in a 2 or 3 qt. casserole dish starting with yams, then apple/nut/spice mix.
(I use a deeper casserole for more layers.)
Dot the layers with 1/4 cup butter
Bake at 350 until apples are just crisp tender. (20 to 30 minutes)
Remove from the oven and turn on the broiler
Cover casserole with miniature marshmellows or large marshmellows.
Brown the marshmellows under the broiler, watch CAREFULLY!! It takes less time than you think to brown those marshmellows. It tends to brown all at once.
Recipe can be easily doubled for a crowd.
