Brown Sugar Pecan Sweet Potato Cobbler
Ingredients:
- 2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Boil the sweet potatoes in a pot of water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash them until smooth.
3. In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, vanilla extract, and milk. Stir until well mixed.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar until a smooth batter forms.
5. Pour the batter into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish.
6. Carefully spoon the sweet potato mixture over the batter, spreading evenly. Do not stir.
7. Pour the water gently over the entire dish. The water will help the batter rise up around the sweet potato topping as it bakes.
8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
9. Let cool slightly before serving.
