Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 4 large sweet potatoes)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the Crumble Topping:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well until everything is smooth.
  3. Pour the sweet potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  4. Prepare the crumble topping. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for the topping.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Stir in the chopped pecans or walnuts.
  7. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
  8. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
  9. Let the casserole cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can boil or roast your sweet potatoes for mashing; roasting often deepens the flavor.
  • For an extra layer of flavor in the crumble, add 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger.
  • If you prefer a smoother filling, you can press the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before topping.
