Zakia B.So here’s my granny’s sweet potato pie recipe, made the way I like it: sweet, spiced, buttery, and with a little “measure with your heart” because that’s how grandma taught me. 🥧✨ 🍠 Cynthia’s Sweet Potato Pie Ingredients: • 2 deep-dish frozen pie crusts, thawed • 4–5 medium sweet potatoes, boiled until fork-tender • 1½ sticks butter, chopped • 2 cups white granulated sugar • ½ cup light brown sugar • ¼ cup evaporated milk • 3 large eggs • 2½ tsp pumpkin pie spice, to taste • ½ tsp ground cinnamon, to taste • ¼ tsp lemon extract • ½ tbsp orange juice • 2½ tsp vanilla extract Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 400°F. 2. Boil sweet potatoes for 40–45 minutes, or until fork-tender. Rinse with cold water, peel, and place in a large bowl. 3. Add butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until combined. 4. Add eggs one at a time while mixing. 5. Add pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, lemon extract, and orange juice. Mix until fully combined. 6. Taste your filling! If it needs more spice or sugar, add it. Make it based on what makes your heart happy. 🤎 7. Place your thawed pie crusts on a baking sheet and evenly divide the filling between both crusts. 8. Smooth out the tops and gently tap the baking sheet on the counter to help settle the filling. 9. Bake at 400°F for about 60 minutes, or until a knife or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 10. Let the pies cool for a couple of hours so they can fully cool and set. Enjoy at room temperature or chill overnight and enjoy the next day. 🥧🍂 #sweetpotatopie #zeetheintrovert
