I already have two different candied yam recipes here on my blog, one is healthy candied yam another is a sautéed stove-top candied yam.

I saw that many of the view which led to those recipes were searches for baked candied yam recipes. So I wanted to help you out with an easy and simple traditional recipe, my families candied yam recipe!  

It’s a simple and easy dish that doesn’t require a lot of fancy ingredients.

All you need is…….

5 Sweet Potatoes/ Yams Peeled and chopped

6 Tablespoons softened salted butter

¾ cup granulated sugar

½ cup light brown sugar

1½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

2-3 granny red delicious apples peeled and chopped

½ teaspoon vanilla

 

Pre-heat oven to 350

Peel cut and rinse off sweet potatoes/yams. (optional: peel and chop apples)

 

 

 

Mix butter, cinnamon, potatoes, apples, granulated sugar, nutmeg and vanilla. Sprinkle brown sugar on top.

 

 Cover with lid or wrap tightly in foil, bake for 1 hour, then remove top, and bake for another 10 minutes. 

 

 

This great southern side never gets old! The sweet side fits right in on almost any plate! Enjoy!
