Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (for topping)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into large chunks. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the sweet potato chunks, and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked sweet potatoes until smooth. Stir in 6 tablespoons of melted butter, granulated sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well.
Step 4
Add the eggs to the sweet potato mixture and stir until fully incorporated. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Step 5
In a small bowl, prepare the crumble topping by mixing together the flour, brown sugar, chopped pecans, cinnamon, and 4 tablespoons of softened butter. Use a fork to combine until the mixture becomes crumbly.
Step 6
Sprinkle the pecan-crumble topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture in the baking dish.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is set.
Step 8
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a side or dessert!
