Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400ºF

Fold and form the edges of the crust as desired. Place in refrigerator until ready to fill.

In a Medium size mixing bowl add the sweet potatoes.

Add granulated sugar

Add evaporated milk

Add vanilla extract

Add nutmeg

Add ground cinnamon

Add melted butter

Using a hand mixer on low speed, beat all ingredients together until fully incorporated, adding a little more milk if needed. Mixture should be creamy but not soupy.

Pour the mixture into the pie shell filling it right up to the top edge. Do not overfill.

Bake on bottom rack in oven for 10 minutes at 400ºF.

REDUCE HEAT to 350ºF

Bake 25-30 more minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out dry.

If crust edges begin to brown or burn, cover with strips of aluminum foil until the pie is fully baked.

Remove from oven, place on a wire rack and let cool.
Serve warm and Enjoy!
