Ingredients

  • 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes about 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 9-inch store-bought pie crust

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Prepare the sweet potatoes by washing them, pricking them with a fork, and baking them in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Allow them to cool, then peel and mash them.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, evaporated milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are well combined, and the filling is smooth.
  • Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges as desired.
  • Pour the sweet potato filling into the prepared pie crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the pie is set and a toothpick or knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
