1

Place the yams in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for 30 minutes, or until tender but still firm. Drain, peel, and slice into 1/3 inch thick pieces.
2

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
3

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the cornstarch and brown sugar. Stir in the apple juice, lemon juice, cinnamon, and allspice.
4

Arrange alternating layers of yams and apples in the prepared baking dish. Pour the apple juice mixture over the layers.
5

Cover and bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven. Remove the cover, and continue baking for 30 minutes. Baste often with the pan juices to keep it from drying out.
