APPLE MALLOW YAM YUMS
From Judi Troyer
This dish is a Thanksgiving tradition in our family. The first year we made these was about 1978. We really liked the recipe and made them every year after that. It was from a recipe in a magazine. We changed from using canned yams to cooking fresh yams. It makes the taste so much better.
2-3 yams, cooked, sliced or quartered
2 apples, sliced
1/3 cup pecan pieces
1/4 - 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/4 cup butter, cubed
2 cups mini marshmallows
Toss apples together with pecans. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
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.
