Tips:
- Choose the right apples: For a classic sweet and tart combination, use Granny Smith apples. If you prefer a sweeter filling, try Honeycrisp or Fuji apples.
- Peel and slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Don't overcook the apples: Cook them just until they are tender but still hold their shape.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the yams and apples from burning.
- Add some spices: Ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all classic spices that pair well with yams and apples. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
- Serve warm: Yams and apples are best served warm. You can top them with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of ice cream, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts.

Yams and apples are a delicious and versatile combination that can be enjoyed in many different ways.
