Add apple juice, lemon and spices and boil 2-3 minutes, then set aside. Lightly grease a 9x13" pan. Place a layer of yams, then a layer of apples, then another layer of yams, then pour apple juice mixture over top. Cover with foil and bake 1 hour. Remove foil and bake 30 more minutes, basting if necessary.
