Easy sweet potato pie recipe
Recipe from Carla Hall’s website
Senior Adonna Green reflects on memories that sweet potato pies bring her. “I love making sweet potato pies,” Green said. “Everybody in my family knows how to bake. We all have dabbled in baking here and there but mainly my mom is the reason I bake. It just reminds me of home. My aunt used to make sweet potato pie all the time when we were little, and it just reminds me of back home. Once we were at a family reunion in Mississippi I was in the kitchen helping her make it.”
Ingredients you will need are 2 pounds sweet potatoes, 1 disk of Carla’s Classic Pie Dough, fitted into a deep-dish pie plate and frozen, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground allspice,¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, ½2 teaspoon salt, 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, ½ cup packed light brown sugar(plus more if needed), 1 cup evaporated milk, and 2 large eggs.
First, Preheat the oven to 350°F. Then put the sweet potatoes on a foil-lined half-sheet pan. Bake, turning once, until very tender, 1½ to 2 hours. When cool enough to handle, take the sweet potatoes out of their jackets and scrape the flesh into a 1-quart measuring cup. You should have 2½ cups of packed sweet potato. Then raise the oven temperature to 425°F.
Line the frozen dough with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake until dry and set, for about 25 minutes. Remove the foil with the weights and bake the dough until golden brown, for about 5 minutes longer. Let cool completely, then place on a half-sheet pan.
Next transfer the sweet potato to a large bowl and add the cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, salt, butter, brown sugar, and the evaporated milk. Beat with a heavy whisk until smooth. Taste and add more brown sugar if you’d like. The amount will depend on the sweetness of your spuds. Add the eggs and whisk until fully incorporated. Pour into the pie crust and spread evenly.
Finally, bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Bake until the top is golden brown and the filling has puffed and set, about 40 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Enjoy!
Baking can bring people together, and create new memories.I hope you have a chance to try and make one of these delicious desserts over the season!
