Instructions
Creating a delicious Sweet Potato Pie can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Peel and chop the sweet potatoes. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
3. Mash Sweet Potatoes: In a mixing bowl, mash the cooled sweet potatoes until smooth.
4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
5. Combine Ingredients: Add the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt to the mashed sweet potatoes. Stir to combine.
6. Add Wet Mixture: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the sweet potato mixture, stirring until smooth and well blended.
7. Prepare Pie Crust: Place your unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan.
8. Fill Pie Crust: Pour the sweet potato filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed. A knife inserted should come out clean.
10. Cool: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for 20-30 minutes before serving.
