Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
  • ½ cup sweet potato puree freshly made or roasted and pureed
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 4 tablespoons butter at room temperature
  • Salt to taste

Method
 

  1. Mix the eggs, butter, vanilla, milk, half a cup of the sugar, salt, and spices with an electric mixer until smooth.
  2. Pour the mixture into the pie crust and sprinkle the rest of the sugar on top.
  3. Let it sit for 15 minutes so the sugar can sink in a bit before it cooks.
  4. Preheat the oven to 300°F.
  5. Bake for an hour or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  6. Cool completely and then serve.
