Step 2: Prepare the Filling
Peel the sweet potatoes and mash them in a large bowl using a potato masher. Add the sugar, evaporated milk, melted butter, dark corn syrup, eggs, flour, vanilla extract, apple pie spice, and salt. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Step 3: Assemble the Pie
Roll out your unbaked deep-dish pie crust and fit it into a pie pan. Pour the sweet potato batter into the crust, leaving a little space at the top to prevent overflow. Reserve any excess batter for another use.
Step 4: Bake the Pie
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.

Step 5: Cool and Serve
Let the pie cool completely before slicing to allow the filling to set. Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate experience.
Tips for Success
Bake, Don’t Boil: Baking the sweet potatoes intensifies their natural sweetness and keeps them from getting too watery.
Use Apple Pie Spice: This blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves adds depth to the pie’s flavor.
Make Ahead: Sweet potato pie tastes even better after resting overnight. Store it in the fridge and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Extra Batter: Leftover batter? Pour it into ramekins and bake mini custards!
