Just in time for Thanksgiving, this recipe comes from the very last companion I had on my mission -- Whitney Worthen. Being from "the Apple State," she showed me all sorts of ways to enjoy apples. She made these for Thanksgiving on the island of Tenerife and they were a total hit.
I've made them every year since and people can't get enough of them. They are especially great for crowds that normally don't like yams -- as they taste more like an apple pie than anything else.

- 4 large cooked yams (2 medium cans)
- 2 large apples (peeled, cored, halved and thinly sliced)
- ½ c firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 4 Tbs. butter
- ½ c chopped pecans
- mini marshmallows (optional -- obviously, vegans/hardcore vegetarians wouldn't want to add these)
Place ½ yams in dish; layer ½ apples on top. Mix sugar, cinnamon, nuts and ½ tsp. salt in a bowl. Sprinkle ½ of mixture over apple layer. Repeat with remaining yams, apples and mix. Drizzle melted butter over the top. Cover and bake 40 minutes at 325 degrees. Uncover and bake about 10 minutes more with mini marshmallows on top (until slightly brown).
