Grandma Vera Jean's Candied Yams

This is by far the best yam recipe around. We have enjoyed this recipe for many years at Thanksgiving and Christmas.


6-8 Yams
5-6 Apples
1 c. sugar
1 c. water
3 Tbsp. Cornstarch
1 tsp. Salt
1 cube of butter

Parboil yams cool and peel. Then slice lengthwise. Peel and slice apples thinly in long wedges. Place yams in baking dish and apples on top. In a small sauce pan heat sugar, water, cornstarch, butter and salt until thick and bubbly. Pour over top of yams and apples. Sprinkle 1/2 tsp. of Cinnamon over top.
Bake at 350 for 30-40
