Ingredients

2 large yams
2 apples
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon corn starch
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons pecans or walnuts, chopped
water

Instructions

Fill a large saucepan with water and boil unpeeled yams for 30 minutes, until tender but firm. Cool yams enough to handle, then peel and slice crosswise, ¼-inch thick. Core and slice apples ¼-inch thick. In a shallow 1-quart baking dish, overlap the apple and yam slices. In saucepan, combine brown sugar, corn starch and cloves. Add orange juice and blend. Cook over low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves and
sauce thickens. Pour sauce over apples and yams. Sprinkle with nuts and bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes.
