Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking dish with aluminum foil.

Step 2

Place sweet potatoes in the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork and skins loosen, 30 to 45 minutes. Cool potatoes, then peel and discard skins. Transfer potato flesh to a bowl.

Step 3

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