Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease two 15-ounce au gratin pans or one 8-by-8-inch (or other similar size) baking dish with 2 teaspoons butter and set on a baking sheet.
• Peel and core the apple, then shred the apple using a box grater. Quickly pile the shreds in the center of a clean kitchen towel and squeeze them over the sink to remove excess water. Transfer to a large bowl along with the lemon juice and toss to coat. Add the sweet potatoes, evaporated milk, brown sugar, flour, egg, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter. Stir until thoroughly combined.
• Divide the mixture between the au gratin pans and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or transfer to the 8-by-8-inch baking dish and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until the pone is slightly puffed, golden brown at the edges and set just enough that it doesn't jiggle when you shake the pan. Let cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then serve warm with ice cream.
