Yam and Apple Bake

Here is a dish something like my mother would often make when we were growing up. I don't often make the same meal twice, but I do have a few that are always in the mix and this is one of them. I usually add pork or chicken sausage which turns it into a great main dish. I tweaked the recipe a bit this time and was happy with the results.


Ingredients:
2-3 medium yams or sweet potatoes
1 large cooking apple (I used golden delicious) thinly sliced, then each slice halved


1/4 c. flour
1/4 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 c. butter - melted
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ground cloves


1. Bake yams on baking sheet at 350°F. for about 40 minutes until tender, but firm. Cool, peel off skin and cut into bite size chunks.
2. Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish and add apples and yams (and sausage, if desired).
3. In a small bowl mix the flour, butter, brown sugar and spices. Pour into the baking dish and stir to coat. 
4. Bake at 375°F. for about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
