Heat oven to 375°. In 13x9-inch baking pan melt butter in oven (4 to 6 minutes). Stir in all remaining ingredients except sweet potatoes and apples. Place sweet potatoes in butter mixture; toss to coat. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until fork tender. Add apples; spoon butter mixture over apples. Continue baking for 15 to 20 minutes or until apples are tender. TIP: Although no yams are grown in the United States, some grocery stores label orange sweet potatoes as yams. This sweet potato and apple side dish is a great accompaniment to a special menu.
