Instructions

1. 1

   Peel and cut sweet potatoes into even chunks for uniform cooking. Boil in salted water for about 20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain thoroughly to prevent excess moisture.

2. 2

   While still warm, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Stir in melted butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined, creating a silky and flavorful base.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, mix chopped nuts with brown sugar and all-purpose flour. Add melted butter just enough to bind the mixture, forming the crunchy, caramelized topping.

4. 4

   Grease a casserole dish and spoon the sweet potato mixture into it evenly. Sprinkle the nut topping over the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, until the topping is golden and crisp.

5. 5

   Allow the casserole to cool for about 10 minutes to let the flavors settle and the topping firm up for perfect slices before serving.
