Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 large sweet potatoes (about 3 1/2 pounds)
6 ounces dried apricots (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar, or to taste
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup chopped pecans (about 3 ounces), toasted lightly

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Prick potatoes and bake in middle of oven 1 1/2 hours, or until very soft. Scoop flesh into a bowl.
  • In a saucepan cover apricots by 1 inch with cold water and simmer until soft, about 30 minutes. Reserve 2 tablespoons cooking liquid and drain apricots. In a food processor puree apricots with granulated sugar and reserved liquid until smooth.
  • Add puree to potatoes with salt to taste and with an electric mixer beat until smooth. Spread mixture in a buttered 2-quart shallow baking dish. Puree may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 400°F.
  • In a small bowl blend with your fingers flour, brown sugar, butter, pecans, and salt to taste until combined well and crumble over puree. Bake puree in middle of oven until heated through and streusel is bubbling, about 15 minutes.

This recipe was a disaster! The streusel topping was too thick and doughy, and the sweet potatoes and apricots were mushy. I would not recommend this recipe.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The sweet potatoes and apricots were a bit bland, and the streusel topping was a bit too dry.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The streusel topping was really good though.

This recipe was easy to follow and turned out great! I used fresh apricots from my tree, and they were so sweet and juicy. The streusel topping was also delicious, and it added a nice crunch to the dish.

I loved the vibrant color of this dish, and the flavors were just as good as they looked. The sweet potatoes and apricots were perfectly balanced, and the streusel added a nice textural contrast. 10/10 would recommend!
