Time 3h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 large sweet potatoes
1 cup butter (such as Land O'Lakes®), melted
5 eggs, beaten
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk (such as PET®)
1 cup white sugar, or to taste
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon lemon juice
3 pie shells, thawed

Steps:

  • Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 40 to 50 minutes. Drain water, peel sweet potatoes, and mash in a bowl.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Mix butter and eggs together in a bowl until smooth; stir into mashed sweet potatoes. Mix milk, sugar, flour, vanilla extract, nutmeg, baking powder, and lemon juice into sweet potato mixture; pour into the 3 pie shells.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue to bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a pie comes out clean, about 40 minutes more. Cool pies for 15 to 30 minutes before refrigerating to cool completely, 1 to 2 hours.

This pie is easy to make and it turned out great! I used a pre-made crust, but I'm sure it would be even better with a homemade one.
