Yam and Apple Casserole

Step 1
Place yams in a large saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook 30 minutes, or until tender but firm. Drain, peel, and cut into 1/3 inch thick slices.

Step 2
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

Step 3
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the cornstarch and brown sugar. Mix in the apple juice, lemon juice, cinnamon, and allspice.

Step 4
Alternate layers of yams and apples in the prepared baking dish. Pour the apple juice mixture over the layers.

Step 5
Cover, and bake 1 hour in the preheated oven. Remove cover, and continue baking 30 minutes. Baste frequently with the juices from the pan to prevent drying.
