Description
A classic sweet potato pie with a rich, spiced filling that's perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- Sweet Potatoes: 2 large (about 2 cups mashed)
- Granulated Sugar: 1 cup
- Brown Sugar: 1/2 cup
- Evaporated Milk: 1/2 cup
- Unsalted Butter: 1/2 cup (melted)
- Eggs: 2 large
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
- Ground Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- Ground Nutmeg: 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Unbaked Pie Crust: 1 (9-inch)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Boil or bake the sweet potatoes until tender, then mash them well.
- In a bowl, mix the mashed sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, brown sugar, evaporated milk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
- Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set.
- Let the pie cool before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, roast the sweet potatoes instead of boiling them.
- Use room-temperature eggs for a smoother filling.
- Check the pie at 50 minutes—if the crust browns too quickly, cover it with foil.
