🍂 Fall is my favorite time of year to bake and with Thanksgiving just around the corner I decided to get some practice in by making this delicious Maple Sweet Potato Pie

Here’s what you need to try this at home:

🥧 Ingredients:

Filling:

3 to 4 sweet potatoes (about 3 cups of sweet potato puree)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup evaporated milk 
1 tbsp condensed milk 
1/2 cup maple syrup 
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 tbsp softened butter
1 tbsp vanilla paste
1 tbsp cinnamon 
1/2 tsp nutmeg 

Crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs 
2 tbsp granulated sugar or brown sugar 
6 tbsp melted butter

Swiss Meringue:
4 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla paste
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp cream of tartar 

Recipe:

Preheat oven to 375 F

In a baking pan, roast the sweet potatoes at 375 F for about one hour or until softened. Once soft, let them cool and puree in a food processor or blender. 

Preheat oven to 350 F

In a food processor, process the graham crackers and brown sugar until they are crumbly. Once you have graham cracker crumbs, combine them with the melted butter and build your pie crust in a pie pan by pressing the crumbs along the bottom and sides of the pan. 

Bake your pie crust at 350 F for 10 minutes, then let cool before filling. 

For your filling:

In a bowl, combine all your filling ingredients and mix with a stand mixer or hand mixer until combined. Once combined, immersion blends to get a silky smooth texture. 

Pour your filling into your prebaked graham cracker crust, and bake at 350 F for about one hour, or until a toothpick comes out semi-clean and the sides are set. Let cool for at least one hour. 

For the Swiss Meringue:

Mix your ingredients in a heat-safe bowl or stand mixing bowl. Once mixed, place your bowl over a saucepan of boiling water and whisk until the sugar is thoroughly dissolved or you can no longer feel the grains of the granulated sugar. 

Once combined, mix your meringue at medium to high speed for about 5 minutes or until you reach stiff peaks. 

Top your pie with any design you want!

🤎 Enjoy!
