Old Fashioned Sweet Potato Pie image

This is my first experience with sweet potato pie. Let me just say...OHHHHH MY! So good, my Father in Law says it's the best he's ever had! This pie has a meringue, but don't let that scare you it is super easy. I made it both ways, with the vanilla and the bourbon both were great! Courtesy of Paula Deen.

Time 1h25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups cooked peeled sweet potatoes
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 -2 tablespoon Bourbon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup milk
1 (9 inch) pie crusts
3 egg whites

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Filling:.
  • Using an electric mixer combine potatoes, 1 cup of sugar, butter, eggs vanilla,salt and spices. Mix thoroughly. Add milk, and continue to mix. Pour into pie crust and bake 35-45 minutes or until knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Place pie on rack to cool to room temperature before covering with meringue.
  • Meringue:.
  • Using an electric mixer beat egg whites until soft peaks form; beat in remaining 1/4 cup sugar 1 tablespoon at a time. Continue beating until sugar dissolves and mixture is glossy and stiff, but not dry. With rubber spatula spoon meringue onto cooled pie, forming peaks. Make sure meringue touches crust all around (to avoid weeping). Sprinkle with a pinch of granulated sugar. Bake 10-12 minutes, or until delicately browned.

I'm not a big fan of sweet potato pie, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so creamy and flavorful, I couldn't get enough of it.

This pie is a classic for a reason. It's sweet, creamy, and oh-so-delicious. I love serving it with a dollop of whipped cream.

I've never made a sweet potato pie before, but this recipe was so easy to follow. The pie turned out great and my family loved it.

This pie was a disaster! The filling was runny and the crust was soggy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The filling of this pie was yummy, but the crust was a little dry. I think I'll try a different recipe for the crust next time.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my pie turned out delicious. The only thing I would change is to add a little more sugar to the filling.

This pie is so easy to make and it turned out perfect! I used a pre-made pie crust to save time and it still came out great.

I've made this pie several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The only thing I do differently is add a little bit of cinnamon to the filling.

This pie was a hit at my Thanksgiving dinner! The filling was creamy and sweet, and the crust was flaky and buttery. I will definitely be making this again.
