Ingredients

  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust (deep dish is best)
  • 1 can (29 ounces) sweet potatoes OR yams, drained
  • 1/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar

Topping

  • 1 tbsp butter OR margarine, melted
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 2 tbsp evaporated milk
  • 3/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425ºF
  2. Beat sweet potatoes in large bowl, using an electric mixer. Add eggs, sugars, salt and pumpkin pie spice; beat until thoroughly combined. Gradually add milk; mix until smooth. Pour into pie crust. (Pour any extra filling in a ramekin or custard cup and bake with pie).
  3. Bake for 15 minutes at 425ºF. Reduce heat to 325º F, cover crust with foil to prevent overbrowning; bake for 25 minutes.
  4. Combine all topping ingredients in small bowl. Spoon evenly over top of pie. Bake an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool. To serve, garnish with whipped cream and additional pecans, if desired.
  5. Store leftovers in refrigerator
  6. No pumpkin pie spice?  Substitute 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
