This recipe is adapted from a Taste of Home recipe. I have on my site another sweet potato pie recipe. It does not have the crumb topping, but I think the topping adds a lot to the pie.
9 inch Pie Pan
Yields: 6-8 Servings
Bake: 425 degrees for 15 minutes
Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake 35-50 minutes longer
Pie Crust Recipe:
1/2 c. soft white flour (63 g)
1/2 c. oat flour (50 g)
2 T. sugar (25 g)
1/2 tsp salt
2 T. unsalted butter chilled (28 g)
2 T. lard or shortening chilled (26 g)
2 T. cold buttermilk (31 g)
Crust Instructions:
With a mixer or by hand
Mix together flour, sugar, and salt thoroughly. Cut the butter into dry mix until the size of tiny peas. Then add lard or shortening and cut into the dry mix until the peas size pieces. Add some of the buttermilk and mix, do not over mix, add the remaining buttermilk, press into a ball, and then flatten into a rounded disk. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. The dough may be dry but it will come together after the rest in the refrigerator.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Roll the dough between two pieces of parchment paper or plastic. And place over the pie pan and press into shape.
Filling Recipe:
Ingredients:
1/3 cup butter, softened (75 g)
1/2 cup sugar (100 g)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup evaporated milk (189 g)
2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
or about 4 medium sweet potatoes
Note: 2 lbs of potatoes makes into about 2 cups cooked & mashed
sweet potatoes.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
Sweet Potato Roasting Instructions:
1. Preheat oven and wash the sweet potatoes: Preheat oven to 375°F. Scrub the sweet potatoes well and pat them dry with a dish towel.
2. Prick with a fork and roast: Prick each sweet potato several times with a fork. Place on a baking sheet and put them into the oven to roast.
3. Check for doneness: Depending on the size of your potatoes, it may take between 30 minutes to 1 hour for them to be done. Check at 30 minutes by squeezing one of the potatoes using an oven mitt to protected your hands and inserting a sharp knife into the center. They should feel quite soft and the knife should easily glide all the way through. If not return to the oven and check again in 10 minutes.
Or microwave the Sweet Potato until fork tender.
Filling Directions:
Pie Assembly:
In a bowl with your mixer or with the food processor, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs; mix well. Add milk, mashed sweet potatoes, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt; mix well. Pour into pie shell and add the crumb topping.
Crumb Topping
Whisk together the flour and 1/8 teaspoon of salt. In a food processor, pulse the butter and brown sugar until combined. Add the flour mixture and pulse until the mixture forms clumps. Set aside. Reserve until assembling pie. It makes a lot, just put it on thick. It will settle in as it bakes.
Bake until when you insert a knife in the center of the pie it comes out clean. I usually have to bake it on the longer side.
Enjoy!
