Ingredients:
For the Pie Crust:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1/4 cup ice water
For the Filling:
2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes (about 2 medium sweet potatoes)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/4 cup milk
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Garnish (Optional):
Whipped cream
Ground cinnamon
Directions:
Prepare the Pie Crust:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Cut in the chilled butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Prepare the Filling:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add the evaporated milk, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Assemble the Pie:
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish.
Transfer the dough to the pie dish, trim the edges, and crimp as desired.
Pour the sweet potato filling into the prepared pie crust.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
Cool:
Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to fully set.
Serve:
Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon if desired.
Enjoy your delicious homemade sweet potato pie!
