Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
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.
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.
Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
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.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
