When Mom baked this old-fashioned sugar pie, family members would clamor for second servings. We love the combination of cinnamon, coconut, nuts and raisins. She'd sometimes toss in a few chocolate chips for variety. Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner were not complete without this dessert.

This pie is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. It's also a great make-ahead dish, which is perfect for busy weeknights.

This pie is a bit too rich for my taste, but it's still very good. I think I'll try using a lighter filling next time.
