Ingredients

• 4 cups yams (peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 2 cups canned peach slices in juice (drained)
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup rolled oats
• 0.5 cup pecans (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the yam cubes and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until just fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked yam cubes, peach slices, brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.

Step 4

Transfer the yam and peach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, chopped pecans, maple syrup, remaining melted butter, and a pinch of salt to create a crumble topping.

Step 6

Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the yam and peach 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 filling is bubbling at the edges.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish or dessert, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
