Ingredients
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour, for work surface
- 1/2 recipe Pate Brisee for Plum Crumb Pie
- 2 large sweet potatoes, (about 1 1/2 pounds)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, cut into pieces, room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Juice of half a lemon
Directions
On a lightly floured work surface, roll pate brisee into a 15-inch round. With a dry pastry brush, sweep off the excess flour; fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate, pressing it into the edges. Trim to a 1-inch overhang all around. Crimp edge as desired. Cover with plastic wrap; chill pie shell until firm, about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Fill a medium saucepan with 2 inches of water; place over high heat and bring to a boil. Fit saucepan with a steamer basket, add sweet potatoes, and cover. Steam until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. You may need to add more water as sweet potatoes steam. Let sweet potatoes cool slightly before removing skins by rubbing potatoes with a paper towel.
Place sweet potatoes in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until the sweet potatoes are well mashed and any stringy pieces of sweet potato have wrapped themselves around the paddle attachment. Remove paddle attachment, wipe clean, and return to mixer.
With the mixer on low speed, add butter, and beat until well combined and cooled slightly. Slowly add sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and lemon juice. Continue beating until well combined.
Pour mixture into prepared pie crust. Transfer to oven and bake until center has set, 45 to 50 minutes.

This is the only recipe for sweet potato pie that I use. Came out perfect every time. Did what Mr. Glover suggested and seasoned to taste. I added the 1 cup of sugar and just a tad bit more. Love this recipe and will continue to use it.
Thank you Martha and Danny

I can't believe anyone would rate this less than 5 stars. This is the perfect recipe. The lemon makes a huge difference. The only thing is this pie does need to "set up" so make it, refrigerate, and serve the next day.

Made this pie without all[filtered]e that was missing in my pantry, but it came out perfect. Baked it for 50 minutes, at which time the filling was all puffed up, but it deflated while cooling it on the rack. The pie shell was great, too. I w[filtered]-heartedly recommend this recipe.

I've searched for yrs to find a sweet potato recipe made the way I like it. I've tried dozens that did not hold up to the restaurant versions that I grew up loving.This is the ONE!!! Finally, I can make my SPP the way I love it at home. I add a tsp of brandy or rum and it's perfect. Thanks, Martha and Danny Glover!!!

I made this in a store-bought graham crust which worked fine. This recipe is first cousin to pumpkin pie, except it uses butter in place of condensed milk. [With no added liquid it is a little firmer.] The seasoning is excellent. The total result is OK but buttery-fatty; I'll try a pumpkin pie recipe using steamed sweet potatos as raw material.
