Yam Apple Bake

Ingredients:
– 2 large yams, peeled and thinly sliced
– 2 apples, cored and thinly sliced
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 1/4 cup pecans, chopped
– Pinch of salt

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced yams and apples. Drizzle the melted butter over the top and sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture. Toss gently to evenly coat the fruit slices.
4. Transfer the yam and apple mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.
5. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
6. After 30 minutes, uncover the dish, sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top, and return it to the oven, baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the yams and apples are tender and the top is golden brown.
7. Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This dish pairs wonderfully with roast turkey, pork chops, or even as a standalone side for a cozy dinner at home.
