YUMMY YAM AND APPLE BAKE



YUMMY YAM AND APPLE BAKE image

Categories     Fruit     Vegetable     Side     Christmas     Easter     Thanksgiving     Kid-Friendly

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 medium-large red-skinned yams - baked in skins
2 tablespoons butter
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2-3 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced into thin wedges
1 fresh lemon - cut in half
several dashes ground cinnamon
a few dashes ground nutmeg - optional
a few dashes ground cloves - optional
2-3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons dark rum
2 tablespoons cold butter - cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake yams until very soft when squeezed. Lightly butter a 10-inch ceramic quiche pan or shallow 2 quart ceramic casserole dish. Remove baked yams from oven and when cool enough to handle, cut in half and scoop out flesh into a medium pot. Add the butter, salt and pepper, and mash until smooth. Spread half of mashed yams in prepared dish. Completely cover yams with a layer of apple wedges arranged in an overlapping circular/spiral fashion. Squeeze juice from half a lemon over apples to prevent discoloration. Evenly sprinkle cinnamon atop apples and if desired, add a few dashes each of nutmeg and cloves. Evenly sprinkle half the brown sugar and half the rum over. Dot with half the butter pieces. Carefully spread remaining yams atop apples and finish with layer of remaining apples, lemon juice, spices, brown sugar, rum and butter. May be made to this point the day before serving, covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before finishing. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until edges are bubbling and apples are tender, lightly caramelized and golden-brown in colour. NOTE: I really prefer the texture of baked yams for this dish. However, to save time and oven space, I have occasionally peeled the yams, cut into chunks and boiled until tender. Drain in a colander and let sit a few minutes to thoroughly dry before mashing to ensure they are not too wet/watery.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples that will hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn apples.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and soften quickly.
  • Use fresh or frozen yams: Fresh yams are best, but frozen yams can also be used. If using frozen yams, thaw them completely before using.
  • Season the yams and apples with spices: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all classic spices that pair well with yams and apples. You can also add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
  • Use a baking dish that is large enough to hold all of the ingredients: A 9x13 inch baking dish is a good size.
  • Bake the casserole until the yams and apples are tender and the topping is golden brown: This usually takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Serve the casserole warm: This dish is best served immediately after it is baked.

Conclusion:

This yam and apple bake is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for fall and winter gatherings. The sweet and tart flavors of the apples and yams are perfectly complemented by the warm spices, and the crunchy oat topping adds a nice contrast in texture.
