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 live in North Carolina so of coarse we love our Sweet Potato Pie! If you want to try something that is just as wonderful try making it with the White sweet potatoes. It's lovely and really makes a statement. I add a few toasted pecan halves and a dollop of Cool whip when serving.

I have made this pie twice now and both times it didn't last more than 3 days. My husband took the last two pieces to work this morning and ended up eating them for lunch instead of the food he took! It's a delicious recipe as is and the only thing I did different this time was to add more sugar. I used one 9inch deep dish pie pan and baked it for a full hour. Definitely my go to recipe for sweet potato pie. Thanks Tonkcats!

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 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
