- Peel and dice the apples and yams about the same size so they cook evenly.
- If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking dish, you can use an 8x8 inch dish instead. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
- To prevent the casserole from drying out, cover the dish with aluminum foil for the first 30 minutes of baking.
