Ingredients

• 4 large sweet potatoes
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups milk
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar
• 0.5 cups chopped pecans
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cubed)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Place them in a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked sweet potatoes until smooth. Add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter (melted), milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and the egg. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, prepare the crumble topping by combining the flour, light brown sugar, and chopped pecans. Add the cold cubed butter and mix with your hands or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
