Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium yams
- 2 medium apples
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup pecans (optional)
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the yams and apples, then cut them into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the skillet, stirring until combined and the sugar has dissolved.
Toss the yam cubes into the skillet and coat them evenly with the spiced butter mixture. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to start softening the yams.
Add the apple cubes to the skillet, mixing gently to coat them in the mixture. Cook for an additional 3 minutes.
Pour the orange juice over the yams and apples, stirring to deglaze the skillet and incorporate all the flavors.
If using pecans, sprinkle them over the top of the mixture.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the yams are tender and caramelized.
Remove from the oven, let cool for 5 minutes, and serve warm.
