For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the sweet potato mixture. This will impart a nutty, caramel-like note to the pie. If the pie crust edges are browning too quickly during baking, cover them with foil or a pie shield. Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the filling to set properly.

Follow The Directions
01
StepSimmer the sweet potato: In a saucepan, submerge the whole sweet potato in its skin in water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 40-50 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water to cool slightly, then peel away the skin.
02
StepPrepare the filling: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a large bowl, break apart the cooked sweet potato. Add the softened butter and beat with an electric mixer until well combined. Gradually beat in the sugar, followed by the milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla extract, mixing until the filling is smooth and velvety.
03
StepAssemble and bake: Pour the sweet potato filling into the unbaked whole wheat pie crust, spreading evenly. Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 45-55 minutes. The pie may puff up during baking, settling as it cools.
