This rich pudding pie makes use of the well-known pairing of peanut butter and banana. This dish has “crowd favorite” written all over it—a delectable fusion of banana pudding and peanut butter pie. The filling would overflow a conventional pie dish, so be careful to note that the recipe asks for a deep-dish pie plate. Wafer crumbs and banana slices can be used as desired as a garnish.

Ingredients
- 6 large sweet potatoes
- 4 cups packed brown sugar
- 2 cups butter
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
- Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Peel sweet potatoes once they are cool enough to handle. Slice sweet potatoes into 1-inch thick rounds; arrange in a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
- Mix brown sugar, butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt together in a saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring often, until sugar has dissolved and butter has melted, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour sauce over sliced sweet potatoes.
- Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and sauce has slightly reduced, about 1 hour. Serve hot.

My family loved this recipe, although it was still on the sweet side even after halving the sauce ingredients. But definitely a keeper, and the vanilla added a refreshingly different flavor to this classic Thanksgiving dish.
Make no mistake, this is a sweet, sweet potatoes dish but I thought it was wonderful. I’m even thinking of mashing them up with some of the syrup and topping with a huge dollop of whipped cream for a dessert. Thanks for sharing!
Very sweet! No need for marshmallows here! My husband said TOO sweet! I said YUM!!! I prefer this very much over other sweet potatoes I’ve had! I’ll make this again to share during the holidays. Thank you 🙂
