Add butter, brown sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the mashed sweet potatoes; mix until smooth.

Transfer the sweet potato mixture to a greased baking dish.

Spread the pecan crumble evenly over the sweet potato mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the topping is golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
