Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 9-inch premade pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into large chunks.
Place the sweet potato chunks in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the sweet potatoes and mash them in a large bowl until smooth. Let the mashed sweet potatoes cool slightly.
Add the unsalted butter to the mashed sweet potatoes and stir until melted and incorporated.
Mix in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.
Beat the eggs in a separate small bowl, then add them to the sweet potato mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.
Add the whole milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt to the mixture. Stir until the batter is smooth and uniform.
Place the premade pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges if desired.
Pour the sweet potato filling into the pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Slice and enjoy your homemade Sweet Potato Pie!
