Brown Sugar Sweet Potato Pie

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 unbaked All Butter Pie Crust
  • Egg Wash (1 Large Egg beaten with 1 tablespoon Milk)

Filling

  • 1 pound Sweet Potatoes
  • 6 tablespoons Unsalted Butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup Light Brown Sugar, packed
  • ½ cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 2 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • ⅛ teaspoon Salt
  • Whipped Cream

Directions

  1. Place the sweet potatoes in a large saucepan; cover them with water; bring to a boil on the stovetop; boil for 45-50 minutes until soft
  2. Roll out the chilled pie dough on a floured surface; roll until there is a circle of 12 inches in diameter; place the dough into a 9-inch pie dish; make sure the dough is completely smooth; crimp the edges with a fork; brush edges with egg wash; chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes
  3. Preheat oven to 350F
  4. Drain the boiling water; run the potatoes under very cold water; the skin should peel off easily; cool for a few minutes until easy to touch; slice the potatoes into large chunks; place into a mixing bowl
  5. Using a mixer beat the potatoes on medium-high speed until smooth; add the remaining filling ingredients; mix on high speed until smooth and combined; spread filling into prepared pie crust
  6. Bake for 55-60 minutes until the center of the pie is only slightly jiggly; when a toothpick is inserted it should come out mostly clean; if the edges are browning too quickly apply a ring of aluminum foil to protect it
  7. Remove finished pie from oven; place on a wire rack to cool completely; decorate with whipped cream
