Tips:

  • Choose the right type of apple: Granny Smith apples are a popular choice for candied yams because they hold their shape well and have a tart flavor that complements the sweetness of the yams.
  • Peel and dice the apples evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the yams and apples will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the yams and apples until they are tender: You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork.
  • Add the glaze during the last few minutes of cooking: This will help the glaze thicken and coat the yams and apples.
  • Serve the candied yams and apples warm: They can be served as a side dish or as a dessert.

Conclusion:

Candied yams with apples is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tart flavors of the yams and apples complement each other perfectly, and the glaze adds a touch of extra sweetness and shine. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
