Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish about 2 quarts in size, toss together the yams and apples so they’re well mixed. In a separate bowl, combine the pecans, sugar, and cinnamon, then sprinkle that mixture evenly over the yams and apples. Drizzle the margarine on top to add a little richness. Pop the dish into the oven and bake for around 20 minutes, keeping an eye on it. Give it a quick baste once or twice while it cooks to keep everything moist. You'll know it's ready when the topping turns golden brown and smells amazing.
