Yield: 1 9-inch pie

Ingredients

  1. 2 sweet potatoes
  2. 2 cups white sugar
  3. ¾ cup evaporated milk
  4. ½ cup butter, melted
  5. ¼ cup dark corn syrup
  6. 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  7. 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  8. 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  9. 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
  10. ¼ teaspoon salt
  11. 1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crust

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place sweet potatoes in an aluminum foil-lined baking dish.
  2. Bake in preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork and skin loosens, 30 to 45 minutes. Allow potatoes to cool.
  3. Peel potatoes and mash with a potato masher in a large bowl. Beat sugar, evaporated milk, butter, corn syrup, eggs, flour, vanilla extract, apple pie spice, and salt into mashed sweet potatoes with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Pour sweet potato batter into pie crust. Excess batter can be reserved for another use.
  4. Bake in preheated oven until pie is set and crust is browned, 45 to 50 minutes.

Phillip Perez
Delicious moist sweet potato pie. Family loved it.
Patrick Conley
It was amazing! We had enough for 2 pies and I froze one but the other didn’t last very long. It was creamy and just perfect.
Cassandra Conway
Awesome Pie – Used honey instead of corn syrup
Kathryn Rice
I love this recipe and so does my family. I always find that a tablespoon of nutmeg and cinnamon takes it to another level.
Chad Stein
This is by far the best sweet potato pie recipe ever. I received raving reviews from the toughest critics – my family. ?? I kept it simple and excluded the apple spice and corn syrup – wasn’t necessary…absolutely delicious without it!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Laura Jones
Looks good!
Andrew Taylor
Delicious. I used two cups of brown sugar instead of the white sugar and dark corn syrup.
Shawn Thomas
Easy to make.

Loved this pie! I used several small sweet potatoes and didn’t double any of the ingredients but had plenty for TWO pies. Instead of corn syrup, I melted a heaping cup of dark brown sugar in 4 TB water and used that which worked perfectly. Also didn’t have apple pie spice or nutmeg which I think would have made it even better. I used cinnamon, cardamon, and allspice. Cut back on the white sugar and was generous with the vanilla. I’ll definitely be making these pies again soon!

Kenny said it was as good as his Grandmother’s!

If I could give this recipe more stars, I would! Hands down, the best sweet potato pie recipe I’ve tried. This will be my “go-to” recipe from now on. I followed the recipe to a “t” and even bought the apple pie spice as suggested. The taste of sweet potatoes shines through and is accented by the light spices. Oh my ….. this is GOOD!

Did not have sweet potatoes so I used canned yams. I also didn’t have evaporated milk so I left out the sugar and use sweetened condensed milk. Came out great!
Cynthia Owens
Delicious pie!!! This one is a keeper! My fiancée wanted me to make her a sweet potato pie and it scared me because I’ve never even tasted it much less made it. Bake time is wrong, and at no point does anything ever get fluffy…but it comes out in the end and that’s what we care about! The lady says this one is a keeper. The lady has spoken!

I made this pie for Thanksgiving on Wednesday. Had to make another Thanksgiving morning. One of the best sweet potatoe pies I have ever had. I did not have dark syrup so I used clear syrup it turned out great. This will be my go to sweet potatoe pie recipe.
Charles Davis
Awsome recipe I have never made a sweet potato pie but this recipe is amazing its simple and delicious I subbed the apple pie spice for the pumpkin pie spice I also made mine own crust thats my preference. The pie is definitely sweet so next time ill cut back on the sugar and corn syrup to bring the sweet potatoes stand out more if anyone has some other subs for the recipe I’d love to hear it.
