Citrus Sweet Potato Pie
Ingredients
  • 1 pound sweet potatoes
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon maple flavored extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
1
Boil a whole sweet potato in its skin for approximately 40 to 50 minutes, or until it reaches the desired level of doneness.
2
Once cooked, submerge the sweet potato in an ice bath to stop the cooking process, then carefully remove the skin.
3
Place the cooked sweet potato in a large mixing bowl and mash it with a fork until it's broken apart into smaller pieces.
4
Melt 1/4 cup of butter or margarine in the microwave and pour it into the bowl with the mashed sweet potatoes.
5
Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until it's smooth and well combined.
6
Mix in sweetened condensed milk, ground cinnamon, grated orange peel, vanilla extract, ground nutmeg, salt, and 1 egg until everything is fully incorporated.
7
Pour the sweet potato mixture into an unbaked pie crust and smooth out the top.
8
Bake the pie in a preheated oven at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 20 minutes.
9
After removing the pie from the oven, reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking.
10
While the pie is baking, prepare the topping by mixing together 1 egg, corn syrup, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of melted butter, maple flavoring, and chopped pecans.
11
Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the pie.
12
Bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the set.
