YAM AND APPLE CASSEROLE

You can prepare this recipe in advance of your big day, and bake just before you're ready to serve it.

Ingredients:	2 medium Granny Smith or other tart apples, peeled, cored and sliced 2 16 oz. cans yams, drained 4 tablespoons butter, melted 1/2 cup light brown sugar 1/2 cup dark corn syrup 2 tablespoons sherry 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:	1. Mash the yams and add the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, sherry and cinnamon. Blend until creamy. 2. Spread half of the yam mixture into a greased 10 inch round oven proof pan. Arrange 1/2 of the apples over the yam layer. Repeat and brush the top layer of apples with 2 tablespoons melted butter, sealing the apples, so that they will not turn color. 3. You can freeze this or keep refrigerated for up to 4 days. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
