Ingredients

  • 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
  • 3⁄4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1⁄4 tsp. salt
  • 1⁄4 tsp. allspice
  • 1⁄8 tsp. fresh grated nutmeg
  • 2 Tbsp. brandy
  • 2 eggs
  • 12 oz. evaporated milk
  • 1 pie shell (9 inches), unbaked

Directions

  • Heat the oven to 425°F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, allspice, and nutmeg until well combined. Add the brandy, eggs, sweet potato, and evaporated milk and whisk until smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into the pastry crust and place on a baking sheet. Bake in the lower third of the oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F and bake for an additional 40 to 45 minutes, or until the filling is set at the edges and just slightly wobbly in the center. Cool for 3 hours on a wire rack before slicing.
