Candied Yams With Apples Recipes

CLASSIC CANDIED YAMS

Steps:

• Cut the sweet potatoes crosswise into 1-inch-thick rounds. Halve or quarter any extra-large pieces so that they are all similar in size.
• Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a small bowl. Add the sugar mixture to the Dutch oven and whisk until it forms a paste. Add the potatoes and stir well, spooning the sugar mixture over the potatoes to coat evenly.
• Cover and cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally and gently to avoid breaking them up, until they are just tender when pierced with the tip of a knife and the sauce resembles a thin syrup, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and toast until dark brown with a light scent of roasted nuts, about 8 minutes. Season the pecans with some salt while warm, let them cool completely and coarsely chop.
• Transfer the potatoes with their sauce to a large serving platter and sprinkle the pecans over the top.

YAM AND APPLE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Place yams in a large saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook 30 minutes, or until tender but firm. Drain, peel, and cut into 1/3 inch thick slices.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the cornstarch and brown sugar. Mix in the apple juice, lemon juice, cinnamon, and allspice.
• Alternate layers of yams and apples in the prepared baking dish. Pour the apple juice mixture over the layers.
• Cover, and bake 1 hour in the preheated oven. Remove cover, and continue baking 30 minutes. Baste frequently with the juices from the pan to prevent drying.

CANDIED YAMS WITH APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Toss all the ingredients in a large bowl to combine.
• Transfer to a baking dish and bake, stirring occasionally, until yams are tender, about 1 hour.
• Increase oven to 500 degrees and bake until liquid evaporates and yams are browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Serve immediately.

CANDIED YAMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Peel and halve the yams crosswise. Cut each half lengthwise into 4 wedges.
• Place the yams in a baking dish that will hold them in a snug single layer.
• Tuck the orange zest and cinnamon sticks among the yams.
• In a bowl, whisk together the orange juice, maple syrup, oil, lemon juice, ginger, and salt. (Note: if you're using butter, omit it in this step, but dot the assembled casserole with small pieces of it before it goes into the oven.) Pour the mixture over the yams.
• Bake for 1 1/4 hours, basting every 15 minutes, until the yams are tender and glazed and the pan juices are syrupy.
• Remove the orange zest and cinnamon sticks before serving.
