• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crust

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place sweet potatoes in an aluminum foil-lined baking dish.

Step 2

Bake in preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork and skin loosens, 30 to 45 minutes. Allow potatoes to cool.

Step 3

Peel potatoes and mash with a potato masher in a large bowl. Beat sugar, evaporated milk, butter, corn syrup, eggs, flour, vanilla extract, apple pie spice, and salt into mashed sweet potatoes with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Pour sweet potato batter into pie crust. Excess batter can be reserved for another use.

Step 4

Bake in preheated oven until pie is set and crust is browned, 45 to 50 minutes.
