Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Poke holes in all sides of the sweet potatoes. Wrap each potato in foil. Roast potatoes for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until fork tender.

Step 3

Remove skin from the sweet potatoes.

Step 4

Add flesh to a large mixing bowl. Mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth.

Step 5

Add remaining ingredients to the bowl with the mashed sweet potatoes. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Pour sweet potato mixture into the prepared pie crust. (If making homemade pie dough, roll it out and form it into a lightly greased pie pan.) Blind bake before filling for crispier crust.

Step 7

Bake sweet potato pie at 400 degrees F for about 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until the center is set.

Step 8

Let cool completely before serving.
