Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup orange juice
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 0.5 cup pecans (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds, then arrange them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine orange juice and maple syrup. Bring to a simmer, then pour the mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes.
Sprinkle the fresh cranberries over the sweet potato slices, ensuring even distribution.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon, and salt. Stir the mixture to combine.
Add the butter to the dry mixture, using a fork or your hands to mix until it forms a crumbly texture.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the sweet potato and cranberry mixture. If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans on top for extra texture and flavor.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the topping is golden brown.
Let the dish cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
