Christmas Dinner 1980's

APPLE MALLOW YAM YUMS

From Judi Troyer

The first year we made these was about 1978. We really liked the recipe and made them every year after that. I think it was from a recipe in a magazine.

2-3 yams

2 apples, sliced

1/3 cup pecans, chopped 

1/4  cup brown sugar

1/2 t. cinnamon

1/4 cup butter, cubed

2 cups mini marshmallows

Cook the yams, if you are using fresh yams. Cut into chunks.

Toss apples together with pecans. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon and gently scatter  into the apple-pecan mix.  

Layer apple-pecan mix alternately with yams in casserole dish.  

Add butter cubes all around evenly.

Bake 35-40 minutes at 350 degrees. 

During the last 3-5 minutes, top the dish with mini marshmallows and brown tops.  Watch closely. They can burn easily.
