Ingredients

  • 2 homemade or store-bought 9-inch pie crust
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed
  • 2 cups mashed sweet potato (about 1.5 pounds)
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 2 eggs, room temperature

  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350
  2. Place the unsalted butter in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat, whisk (to scrape the bottom of the pan)
  3. Reduce the heat slightly to medium high and allow the butter to continue to cook about 7-8 mins.
  4. It will begin to brown and give off a nutty aroma, remove from heat.
  5. Allow brown butter to cool in a glass container (with the brown bits) for about 30 mins
  6. Peel, Chop, and boil sweet potatoes (5-6 medium-sized)
  7. Cook until tender (about 15 mins), drain, and mash.
  8. Mix sweet potatoes and brown butter until smooth.
  9. Add in brown & granulated sugars, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and flour.
  10. Mix until combined.
  11. Cover the edges of the pie crust with aluminum foil (to keep them from burning). Pour filling into pie crusts.
  12. Place pie crusts on baking sheets to keep them level in the oven while baking. Bake for 45-55 mins
  13. Remove from oven and let cool so the center can set.
  14. Can be served warm, but is best after it has had time to set fully.
