Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 1 pinch salt
• ¼ cup white sugar
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 3 ½ medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 1 (2 inch) cinnamon stick
• ¼ cup loosely packed brown sugar
• ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine sweet potatoes, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon stick, and water to cover in a medium pot over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until sweet potatoes are barely tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat, discard cinnamon stick, and strain potatoes. Allow potatoes to cool slightly.

Step 2

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pie plate, baking dish, or casserole dish of your choice.

Step 3

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt for crust in a mixing bowl. Cut cold butter into the mixture until crumbly. Stir in egg and vanilla.

Step 4

Combine warm potatoes, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and cornstarch in a separate bowl; mix until thoroughly combined. Spoon filling into the prepared pie plate and spoon crust mixture over top.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, about 35 minutes.
