Some roots and tubers become more edible if they are left out to "ripen" for a few days or so. This can start the conversion of starches and complex sugars into simpler ones. Don't know about apios.

I've heard from more than one source that they were traditionally eaten raw. I gave it a brave try last summer multiple times & its not something I'd do again. However, peeled & lightly boiled in butter, they're scrumptious.

They contain a latex that is probably not very nice for eating raw.
