Sweet Potato Pecan Pie

Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made pie crust
  • 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. To prepare the pie filling, first cook the sweet potatoes until soft, either by steaming or boiling. Once cooked, mash them in a large bowl until smooth.
  3. Add the brown sugar, maple syrup, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy.
  4. Pour the sweet potato mixture into the pre-made pie crust. Spread it evenly using a spatula.
  5. Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top of the sweet potato filling, ensuring even coverage.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until the filling is set and the pecans are golden brown. The filling will be slightly jiggly, but it will firm up as it cools.
  7. Once done, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your decadent Sweet Potato Pecan Pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Happy baking, and prepare to let this pie steal the show at your next holiday celebration!
