Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

- Pour the sweet potato mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it evenly.
- In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, and cold butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
