  4. Pour the yam mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, pecans, and cinnamon.
  6. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the yam mixture.
  7. Drizzle melted butter over the topping.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the yams are tender.
