1/3 cup apple juice
3 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons dark molasses
1/8 teaspoon each ground cinnamon and allspice
3 pounds yams or sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch-thick
diagonal slices
Salt and pepper
In a rimmed 10- by 15-inch baking pan, combine apple juice, brown sugar, syrup, molasses, cinnamon, and allspice. Turn yams in mixture to coat, then arrange in a single layer, overlapping slightly.
Cover tightly and bake in a 375 [degrees] oven 20 minutes. Turn yams over, then continue to bake, covered, until very tender when pierced, about 25 minutes longer.
Uncover yams and bake 15 minutes. Turn yams over and bake until only a thin layer of syrup remains in bottom of pan, about 5 minutes longer.
Arrange yams on a serving dish; scrape syrup from pan and drizzle over yams. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
