For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular melted butter. If you don't have lemon extract, a tablespoon of lemon zest will add a bright note. To prevent the crust from browning too quickly, cover the edges with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking. A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream makes a perfect accompaniment.

Apr 26, 2025The spice blend is perfect. Not too overpowering, but just enough to give it that classic sweet potato pie flavor.
