Brown Sugar Sweet Potato Pie

The most flavorful brown sugar and cinnamon spiced sweet potato pie!

Ingredients

Crust

• 1 unbaked Flaky Pie Crust (what I used) or All Butter Pie Crust*
• egg wash: 1 large egg beaten with 1 Tablespoon (15ml) milk or heavy cream

Filling

• 1 lb sweet potatoes (about 2 medium)
• 6 Tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• 1 cup (200g) packed light or dark brown sugar (I prefer dark)
• 1/2 (120ml) cup heavy cream
• 2 large eggs
• 2 Tablespoons (15g) all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• optional for serving: whipped cream

Instructions

1. Pie crust: I like to make sure my pie dough is prepared before I begin making this pie. Make pie dough the night before because it needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before rolling out (step 3).
2. As the pie dough chills, start the sweet potatoes: Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan. Cover them with water, then bring to a boil on the stovetop. Boil for 45-50 minutes, or until super soft. During this time, begin step 3.
