Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
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.
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.
Transfer the yam and peach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
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.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the yam and peach mixture in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling at the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or dessert, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
