Best Sweet Potato Pie

Ingredients:
2 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes (about 2 large sweet potatoes)
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup milk or evaporated milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, beat the mashed sweet potatoes and butter together until smooth and creamy. Add sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are fully combined and the filling is velvety.

Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie crust, spreading it evenly. Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted comes out clean. Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing.

Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.

This classic Southern Sweet Potato Pie brings warmth and nostalgia to every table—a silky, spiced filling wrapped in a buttery crust, just like Grandma used to bake on Sunday afternoons.
