Sweet Potato Pie

Sweet Potato Pie  

I do NOT like pumpkin pie...But I LOVE this pie. This is my favorite holiday pie! It is the number one item I sell around the holidays...And I sell a lot of them.  It is absolutely delicious, easy to make and leaves a wonderful aroma in the kitchen.

I like making my own pie crust, but when I have 30 orders or so...it ain't happenin! The recipe I posted calls for store bought. However, feel free to make your own.
*I normally use 3 large sweet potatoes. I score the potatoes (do not peal) wrap them together in foil add 3 Tbs. of butter, place them in the oven for approximately 45 min.-1 hour. You will get this caramelized crust on your potato that makes a big difference in your pie.   
 

Ingredients;

2 Cups Sweet Potatoes, mashed

1/3  Cup Butter, room temperature

1 1/2 Cups Brown Sugar

1/2 Cup Sugar

2 tsp. Cinnamon

1 tsp. Vanilla   

6 Oz. small can Evaporated Milk 

3 Large Eggs, beaten 
Cinnamon cream for serving (1/2 of cinnamon in whip cream.)

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Mix together butter, sugars and cinnamon until creamy.
• Add potatoes, evaporated milk, vanilla and eggs, combine well. 
• Pour the batter into pie crusts. *I normally wrap the edges with foil so the crust does not burn. I remove the foil the last 5 minutes or so of the baking process and let it can brown.  
• Bake for 45-1 hour. Enjoy!
