Recipe submitted by CHEFSOPHIE: "You would never know how healthy these are. They are great !"

Ingredients:
4 medium yams
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and thinly sliced
3/4 cup apple cider
2 Tbs margarine, cut into pea-size pieces

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8x8 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Place yams on a baking sheet and bake until the skin feels soft to the touch, about 60 minutes. Cool, peel, and slice into 1/8 inch rounds.

In a small bowl, whisk the sugar, cinnamon, and cloves.

Place half of the yams in the baking dish, then the apple slices, then half of the sugar mixture. Top with the remaining yams and sugar mixture. Pour the cider around the edges of the baking dish. Evenly scatter the margarine pieces on top.

Bake covered, until bubbly and the yams are tender, about 40 minutes.
