Serves: 9

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour 40 minutes
Serves: 9  Serving size: 1/2 cup
Sweet potatoes and yams are often mistaken for each other, although both are considered tuber vegetables to those who live in warm climates in South America, Asia, and the southern United States. The sweet potato is sweet and distinct in flavor. The yam has a less sweet taste and compliments a spicy or sweet dish. Feel free to use sweet potatoes instead of yams in this traditional Thanksgiving dish.


   4 medium yams (about 2-2 1/2 pounds)
   1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
   1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
   1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
   1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and thinly sliced
   3/4 cup apple cider
   2 tablespoons stick margarine, cut into pea-size pieces


1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray an 8 x 8-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Place the yams on a baking sheet and bake until the skin feels soft to the touch, 60 minutes. Cool, peel, and slice into 1/8-1/4-inch rounds.
3. In a small bowl, whisk the sugar, cinnamon, and cloves.
4. In the baking dish, place half of the yams, then the apple slices, then half of the sugar mixture. Top with the remaining yams and sugar mixture. Pour the cider around the edges of the baking dish. Evenly scatter the margarine pieces on top.
5. Bake, covered, until bubbly and the yams are tender, about 40 minutes.
