In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced yams and apples. Spread them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Sprinkle half of the sugar mixture over the yams and apples.
In another bowl, prepare the topping by combining the flour, oats, pecans (if using), and the remaining sugar mixture.
Pour the melted butter over the topping mixture and stir until it forms a crumbly texture.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the yams and apples in the baking dish.
