Sweet potato pie is considered soul food and has shown up at celebrations and holiday tables for decades. This version is old-fashioned and decidedly Southern, with mashed sweet potatoes<\/a>, plenty of sugar, evaporated milk<\/a>, and a generous amount of warm spices. If you have fond memories of your grandma’s sweet potato pie, this is the recipe for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A classic sweet potato pie is similar to pumpkin pie in color and texture, but it is a bit sweeter, and the spices are not as intense. There are many different ways to make the filling. Some sweeten their filling with cane syrup or molasses, while others rely on brown sugar and vanilla for a sweet flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use store-bought pastry sheets or homemade pie pastry<\/a> for the recipe. To avoid a soggy bottom<\/a>, it’s important to use a great pie pan<\/a> and par-bake\u2014or blind bake<\/a>\u2014the crust. It’s an extra step but very easy. If you don’t have pie weights<\/a>, you can fill the crust with dry rice or beans. A quick bake in the oven is all it needs, and you can be cooking the sweet potatoes and making the filling as it bakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sweet potato pie is a Thanksgiving tradition, and not just in the Southern states. Sweet potatoes are available year-round across the U.S., so don’t feel like you have to wait for a holiday to enjoy this amazing Southern dessert<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Perfectly sweetened and with the most delightful texture, this sweet potato pie is a dream. Blending the filling until really smooth makes all the difference. I like to cool my pie in the oven (turned off) with the door propped open. This helps to prevent cracking.\u201d \u2014Kayla Hoang<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
