Ingredients

  • 2 sweet potatoes
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 3/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup dark corn syrup
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crust

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place sweet potatoes in an aluminum foil-lined baking dish.
  • Bake in preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork and skin loosens, 30 to 45 minutes. Allow potatoes to cool.
  • 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.
  • Bake in preheated oven until pie is set and crust is browned, 45 to 50 minutes.
