Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.3333 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup pecan halves
- 0.3333 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.3333 cup brown sugar (for topping)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into large chunks. Boil them in a large pot of water until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Stir in 4 tablespoons of melted butter, 1/3 cup brown sugar, heavy cream, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
Fold in the dried cranberries and mix well. Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, prepare the topping by combining the pecans, flour, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and 3 tablespoons melted butter. Mix until crumbly.
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 the casserole is heated through.
Let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
