For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the filling. If you don't have apple pie spice, you can substitute with a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate treat. Pie can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Step

Step 1: Prepare the oven and baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

53 mins
Step 2: Bake the sweet potatoes. Place sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until very tender and easily pierced with a fork, approximately 45-60 minutes. Let cool slightly, then peel and transfer the flesh to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3: Create the sweet potato filling. Using a potato masher or an electric mixer, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Add the sugar, evaporated milk, melted butter, corn syrup, eggs, flour, vanilla extract, apple pie spice, and salt. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the filling is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4: Assemble and bake the pie. Pour the sweet potato filling into the unbaked pie crust. Level the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown, approximately 45-55 minutes. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
