Number Of Ingredients 19

ROSEMARY-CORNMEAL CRUST:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup plain white cornmeal
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter, cut into pieces
1/4 cup very cold water
ORANGE SWEET POTATO FILLING:
1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes
3 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup evaporated milk
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons orange zest
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preparation 1. Prepare Crust: Whisk together first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl until well blended. Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles small peas and is crumbly. 2. Sprinkle cold water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, over surface of mixture in bowl; stir with a fork until dry ingredients are moistened. Place dough on a plastic wrap-lined flat surface, and shape into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap, and chill 30 minutes. 3. Unwrap dough, and roll between 2 new sheets of lightly floured plastic wrap into a 12-inch circle. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold edges under, and crimp. Chill 30 minutes. 4. Preheat oven to 400°. Bake crust 20 minutes, shielding edges with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning. Cool completely on a wire rack (about 1 hour). 5. Meanwhile, prepare Filling: Bake sweet potatoes at 400° on a baking sheet 50 to 55 minutes or until tender. Let stand 5 minutes. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise; scoop out pulp into a bowl. Mash pulp. Discard skins. 6. Whisk together eggs and granulated sugar until well blended. Add milk, next 6 ingredients, and sweet potato pulp, stirring until blended. Pour mixture into Rosemary-Cornmeal Crust. 7. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 325°, and bake 20 to 25 minutes or until center is set. Let cool completely on a wire rack (about 1 hour). Kitchen Express: Substitute 1/2 (15-oz.) package refrigerated piecrusts for cornmeal crust ingredients. Unroll on a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle with 1 Tbsp. plain white cornmeal and 2 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary. Lightly roll cornmeal and rosemary into crust. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate according to package directions. Fold edges under; crimp. Proceed as directed, beginning with Step 5.

This pie was a disappointment. The cornmeal crust was dry and crumbly, and the filling was bland. I won't be making this again.

I've made this pie twice now, and it's become a family favorite. The cornmeal crust is so flaky and flavorful, and the filling is creamy and sweet. I love that it's not overly sweet, so you can really taste the natural flavor of the sweet potatoes.
