Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Wash and dry the sweet potatoes, then bake for 40–55 minutes until tender.
- Let sweet potatoes cool for about 15 minutes, reducing the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
- Slice each sweet potato lengthwise and scoop out the insides into a mixing bowl, keeping the skins intact.
- Mash the sweet potato flesh with butter, maple syrup, salt, and cinnamon until smooth and creamy.
- Refill the potato skins with the mashed sweet potato mixture, keeping them packed but not overflowing.
- In a separate bowl, combine pecans, flour, cold butter, cinnamon, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt, mixing until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping over the filled sweet potato skins and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–30 minutes.
- Allow the pecan pie twice-baked sweet potatoes to cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes
Check for doneness and cool before scooping. Use quality pecans and adjust sweetness to taste. Experiment with spices for a unique twist.
