BAKED YAM AND SQUASH

one yam, cubed
1/2 butternut squash, cubed
one granny smith apple, cubed
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup brown sugar (more or less, to taste)
dash of cinnamon, optional

Put all of the cubes in a 2-quart baking dish (i used a round pyrex).  Add all
of the water and about 1/2 of the brown sugar.  Pop into a 350 degree oven for
about 40 minutes, until all cubes are soft.  Check a couple of times to make
sure all the water hasn't gone-- oh, yeah, cover the dish with a lid or foil.
Add the rest of the sugar and whatever cinnamon you think appropriate (i
wouldn't add *too* much), when you remove it from the oven.
