Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350 F.

  5. Sprinkle the remaining diced sweet potato, apples and cranberries over the sweet potato mixture.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats and brown sugar until thoroughly combined. Cut in the butter until the mixture becomes crumbly. Stir in pecans and sprinkle the oat mixture over the top.
  7. Bake uncovered until topping is golden brown and apples are tender, approximately 35-40 minutes.
  8. Serve immediately.
