Anyone have a good recipe for sweet potato pie?

Question

I have two large sweet potatoes (could always get more), pie crusts, evaporated milk, marshmellows, etc. My boyfriend doesn't like nuts or chocolate, so those two ingredients are out. I'm not really impressed with any of the recipes I looked at online. If you've got a good recipe, I'd appreciate your sharing. Thanks!

Answer 1

You're getting a lot of pie recipes - this is something different...

"Sweet Potato Apple Casserole" - Serves 6

1 1/2 lbs. sweet potatoes
3 apples; cored and sliced
3/4 cup orange juice
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. EACH allspice and nutmeg
2 tbsp. brown sugar

In medium saucepan, cook unpeeled potatoes in boiling water for about 20 minutes or until tender; drain.
Meanwhile, in a medium skillet heat apples and orange juice with spices. Cover and cook until apples soften, about 3-5 minutes.
Peel sweet potatoes and slice. Place in casserole dish, alternating apples and sliced potatoes; sprinkle with brown sugar.
Microwave on HIGH, 4-5 minutes.

Answer 2

Spicy Sweet Potato Pie

Ingredients


2 9" Deep Dish Pie Shells
3 Cups Sweet Potato Puree (2 to 3 Large Sweet Potatoes)
4 TBL Melted Butter
2 Tbl Vanilla
4 Eggs
2/3 Cup Heavy Cream
1/3 Cup Maple Syrup
1/3 Cup Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup Spiced Rum
2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (or more) (optional)

Directions

Pre bake the pie shells half way.
Heat the oven to 425 degrees.
Cut your sweet potatoes in half and lay them flat on a baking dish.
Bake for approximately 1 hour or until very tender.
Remove, cover and let cool.
Peel the skin off of the sweet potato and puree. Do not add water.
In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients and mix well.
Turn down the oven to 375 Degrees.
Divide the ingredients between both pie shells.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes.
Top with pecans after about 15 minutes.
You may also drizzle a little maple on top of the pies at that time.
Let cool on the counter at room temperature.
Once cool, place a small amount of saran wrap on top of the pie to help keep the pie moist and not form a tough skin.

Enjoy! (I make mine with 1 tsp. of cayenne powder!)

Answer 6

Old-Fashioned Sliced SweetPotato Pie

Makes 8 servings

Ingredients:

pastry for a 9-inch double crust pie
3 medium-size SweetPotatoes (about 2 1/4 pounds total)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 tablespoon butter, cut into bits

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 9-inch pie plate with 1 layer of pastry, set aside.

Wash, peel and cut SweetPotatoes into 1/4-inch slices. Combine 1 cup of water and the salt into a large saucepan. Add SweetPotato slices. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until SweetPotatoes are just barely tender when pierced, about 5 minutes. Drain slices, then rinse them with cold water until they are cool to touch. Drain slices well, transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

To SweetPotatoes, add sugars, lemon juice, flour and pumpkin pie spice. Toss gently with a spatula until slices are evenly coated. Spoon SweetPotatoes into pastry-lined pie plate, dot top of potatoes with butter. Place top pastry over filling and crimp top and bottom pastries together to make decorative edge. Cut 3 to 4 slits in the top to allow steam to escape.

Bake in 425 degrees F. oven until crust is browned and SweetPotatoes are tender when pierced, about 50 minutes. (If edges of crust start to brown too quickly, drape lightly with strips of foil. Cool pie on wire rack at least 1 hour. Serve warm or cool.
