Southern Sweet Potato Pie
Ingredients
  • 2 sweet potatoes
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 3/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup dark corn syrup
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crust
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Place sweet potatoes in a baking dish lined with aluminum foil to prevent sticking.
3
Continue baking the sweet potatoes until they can be easily pierced with a fork and their skin starts to come loose, requiring 30-45 minutes in the oven.
4
Allow the baked sweet potatoes to cool down completely before proceeding with the next steps.
5
Peel and mash the cooled sweet potatoes using a potato masher in a large bowl to create a smooth consistency.
6
In a separate mixing bowl, combine sugar, evaporated milk, butter, corn syrup, eggs, flour, vanilla extract, apple pie spice, and salt.
7
Mix these ingredients together using an electric mixer until they form a smooth and fluffy batter, taking approximately 5 minutes.
8
Pour the sweet potato batter into your pie crust, making sure to fill it evenly. Any excess batter can be saved for future use.
9
Place the pie crust in the preheated oven and continue baking until it is set and the crust turns golden brown, requiring an additional 45-50 minutes.
10
Once done, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool before serving.
