Sweet Potato Pie
I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas. This year I made cookies and pies. I’m posting a sweet potato pie recipe I found on AllRecipes.com. It turned out to be really good!
I had way more potatoes that I needed so I ended up with six pies. I gave four away and placed one in the freezer. I ran out of vanilla extract so I decided to use a 1 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. The addition of cinnamon turned out to be great for a first time sweet potatoe pie maker! Here is the recipe below.
INGREDIENTS:
* 3 sweet potatoes
* 1/2 cup butter, softened
* 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
(I added 1 1/2 tsp of cinnamon)
* 2 1/2 cups white sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 4 eggs, beaten
* 3/4 cup evaporated milk
* 2 (9 in.) unbaked pie crusts
DIRECTIONS:
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add sweet potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 30 minutes. Drain, cool, peel and mash. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, butter, sugar, vanilla and nutmeg. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk and blend into the sweet potato mixture.
3. Pour into pie shells and bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until done.
