1 (16 oz.) can yams, cut to bite-size
1 (16 oz.) jar chunky style applesauce
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/3 c. butter

TOPPING:

3/4 c. dark brown sugar
4 tbsp. all-purpose flour
3/4 c. instant rolled oats

Mix together rolled oats, flour and brown sugar. Cut in butter until evenly mixed and crumbly. Arrange a little less than half of the applesauce in a 6 x 10 x 2 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Spoon 3 tablespoons of the topping over the applesauce base. Evenly arrange the yams. Add the remaining applesauce to cover yams. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Add the rest of the topping and spread evenly.

Bake at 350 degrees until heated throughout (30-40 minutes). Serve hot, plain or for a special touch, top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
