Sweet Potato Pie VI

This pie was excellent! Very simple to make, not too sweet, and not too many spices fighting with each other. The recipe said it would make 2 pies, but I poured most of it into a 9" pie plate, and made one really nice pie. It did however, take one hour to cook, which is what Lennie estimated (when she graciously answered my post in Q & A). For those of you that don't know, which I didn't, a pie such as this one is done when a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Again, this is simplicity at it's best! A real keeper. BTW, my husband requested this, and he's not really a pie person. He said it was "fantastic"! Thanks, Tonkcats!

I agree....this is so YUMMY! I used one large 29 ounce can of sweet potatoes in syrup. If you drain it and mash the sweet potatoes, it equals about 2 cups as the recipe calls for. I cut the sugar down to 3/4 cup to compensate for the sweetness added by the syrup the potatoes were canned in. I also made it into one good 9 inch pie. It baked up beautifully. I baked it on 425 for 20 minutes to brown the crust and then dropped it to 350 for the remainder of the 1 hour baking time. Fantastic and will make it again1

This was really good! I used a 29oz. can of drained sweet potatoes, and used 3/4c. of sugar as someone else reviewed. I cooked it for 1hr 20min. It came out perfect, thanks!

I love this recipe. I have tried many SPP recipes and could not get it right. I have mastered this one on the first try; however, I have to add an additional 1/2 to each of the ingredients because without the additionals, there is not enough to fill up the pie crust. :-)

I made this as a turkey sidedish, for thanksgiving. I used canned yams ( drained, of course) and I threw it all into the kitchenaid. I did reduce the nutmeg to 1/2 tsp. I poured this into 2 shells and baked . This took a bit longer than directed-about 1 hour total. I sprinkled cinnamon/brown sugar on the top. Everyone raved and devoured this! This is not overly sweet-just right. Thanks Tonkats-I will make again!!

This is a fantastic recipe. Worthy of its 5 stars. I have made it twice now, following the recipe exactly (ingredient wise and it's come ou perfectly both times. I also made one deep dish pie and cooked it on 350 for about 1hr20min. It comes out perfect and there's enough batter left over to make some pre-eating ramikin pies w/o crust. This also allows my husband and I to enjoy the pie before anyone else, lol. Served with homemade whipped cream, it's just delicious. Thank you!

I doubled the recipe to make 2 pies (one recipe made just a little more than one deep dish pie). In reading the reviews, I acknowledged that this really does need to cook for approximately one hour - 30 minutes and the pie had not set. Now on to the good stuff - excellent Sweet Potato Pie. One of the best recipes I have ever tried. Just the right amount of sugar and spice.

Great recipe. I added a little more cinnamon just because I love cinnamon. This is the closest recipe I have found to the one my grandmother made. My grandkids love it and wanted me to make more!! Thanks for sharing!!

Amazing! I made this pie as directed, except I omitted the nutmeg as I do not care for it. To make the crust I used Bobs Red Mill whole wheat pastry flour. Topped with lightly sweetend bourbon whippng cream and chopped toasted peacans. Everyone loved it!! Definately a recipe to keep!

I put all the ingredients into a blender. Also used 15 oz can of sweet taters and got a tastier, milder version.

So simple & so good and not too sweet. Served it with a dollop of Cool Whip and sprinkling of pecans. Looked good and tasted even better. Flavor seemed to get better with each passing day. A keeper for sure and on next year's Thanks. menu(replacing pumpkin pie).

I have never made or even eaten sweet potato pie before, therefore I had no real expectations. THIS IS WONDERFUL!!! People at our party mistook it for pumpkin pie, they LOVED it. The spices are perfect! I liked it b/c I had all the ingredients on hand and loved how you mixed it all in one bowl. I used CANNED sweet potatoes, nonfat evaporated milk, refrigerated rolled pie crust and made only one pie. Cooked it about 45min. I'll make this again!!!

I made this pie. My family LOVED it. I did add a little more flour (double) - baked it for 40 min. This will be a year round favourite. Thanks :)

This was a good recipie that turned out a little too runny (even baking for longer than 30 minutes). I think it could use a little more cinnamon and/or nutmeg. It's a good recipie, but not the best sweet potato pie I've ever had.

This is the first time I attempted sweet potato pie and was really impressed. My husband and I have decided that we like this pie better than pumpkin! I used a 42 oz. can of sweet potatoes in light syrup and used the entire can to make two pies (just added alittle extra milk, sugar and flour). The only thing I would change would be to cut back on the nutmeg a little - I'm more of a cinnamon fan. All in all, this pie was amazing - will be making it for my in-laws for Thanksgiving dinner.
