For a richer flavor, use maple syrup instead of vanilla extract. Toast the pecans lightly before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor. If the crumble begins to brown too quickly, tent the casserole dish with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking. This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
