Meanwhile in a large bowl mix sweet potatoes with heavy cream, nutmeg (or pumpkin spice, slat cinnamon and pepper.
2. 2. Transfer half of sweet potatoes to prepared dish, arranging them in an overlapping pattern like a layered lasagna. Cover with apples, then remaining yams, overlapping with apples and more yams. Pour any remaining cream over the top. Cover with foil and bake until tender, about 45 minutes.
