Preparation Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast two medium sweet potatoes for about 45 minutes, then mash until smooth.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, evaporated milk, melted butter, beaten eggs, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Mix until silky.
  3. Fit the pie crust snugly into a pie dish and prick the bottom with a fork. Set aside.
  4. Pour the sweet potato filling into the prepared pie crust and smooth the top.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 60 minutes, until the center jiggles slightly but is set.
  6. Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for at least an hour before slicing.
