Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups yams (peeled and cubed)
- 1.5 cups fresh cranberries
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 0.5 cups orange juice
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cups pecans (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Place the peeled and cubed yams in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until the yams are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, granulated sugar, orange juice, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Cook over medium heat until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the cooked yams and cranberry mixture. Transfer this mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
In another bowl, prepare the crumble topping by mixing the brown sugar, flour, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and pecans. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the yam and cranberry mixture in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Awesome Yam and Cranberry Casserole!
