Ingredients

  • 2 cans of sliced yams, each weighing 16 ounces, with their juices
  • 1 can of sliced apples, weighing 20 ounces, with its juices
  • A generous ½ cup of chopped pecans
  • A heaping ¼ cup of packed brown sugar
  • A dash of ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons of melted margarine

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Start off by combining the delightful flavors of yams and apples, then gently nestle them into the base of a charming 2-quart casserole dish. In a separate bowl, mix together the crunchy pecans, sweet sugar, and aromatic cinnamon, then generously sprinkle this delectable concoction over the yams and apples. To bring everything together, drizzle a luscious layer of margarine over the top of the mixture.

Step 2

Pop this delectable creation into the preheated oven and let it bake until the topping takes on a lovely golden hue, giving it a good basting 1 or 2 times throughout the cooking process. This should take approximately 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the dish to reach mouthwatering perfection.
