1 cup chopped pineapple

1 cup sliced banana (about

1 medium)

3/4 cup chopped apple (about

1/4 cup raisins

A hearty fall side dish, especially nice with pork, this recipe can also be served at brunch, topped with nonfat plain or vanilla yogurt. If you like, you can also bake these flavorful yams in an oval gratin dish.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray rectangular dish, 10 X 6 X 1-1/2 inches, with nonstick cooking spray. Peel and cut yams into 1/4-inch slices. Layer half of the yams in dish. Mix pineapple, banana, apple and raisins. Spread half the fruit mixture over yams. Repeat with remaining yams and fruit mixture. Mix remaining ingredients; pour evenly over yams and fruit mixture. Cover and bake 50 or 60 minutes or until yams are tender. 6 servings
