My Grandma shared this recipe with me and it’s been a favorite of mine every year at Thanksgiving. It’s by far better than any other yam side dish I’ve had. (I don’t like yams and marshmallows.)
Ingredients
- 6 sweet potatoes
- 6 large apples – peeled, cored and sliced
- 1 ¼ cups white sugar
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 1 ¼ teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 2 ½ cups water
- 1 tablespoon butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Place the sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until just tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Peel and cut into 1/2-inch slices; layer the sweet potatoes and apples into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 3
Meanwhile, stir together the sugar, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a saucepan. Stir in the water and butter and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook and stir until thickened and no longer cloudy, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour over the sweet potatoes.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until the apples are very tender and the sweet potatoes are golden on top, about 1 hour.
