- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/3 cup milk
- 3/4 cup cane sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 beaten eggs

- Combine the butter, brown sugar, flour, and pecan pieces in a small bowl, using your fingers to create moist crumbs. Sprinkle generously over the casserole. Bake for 25-35 minutes, until the edges pull away from the sides of the pan and the top is golden brown. Let stand for the mixture to cool and solidify a little bit before serving.
