MAPLE SWEET POTATO PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Poke holes with a fork all over 1 sweet potato and microwave for 2 minutes, turn and repeat until the fork inserts easily. Repeat with the rest of the potatoes (depending on how many you have). Allow to cool.
• To a make the pastry in a food processor: Add the flour, sugar, salt and butter. Pulse until you get the texture of fine breadcrumbs. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in just enough cold water until it forms a ball.
• To make the pastry by hand: Add the flour, salt and butter to a large bowl. Using your fingertips (or a pastry cutter) rub the butter and flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Drizzle in the water and mix using a fork until the it starts to come together and holds together when pressed in your hand. You may not need all of the water.
• Remove, knead a little on a floured board. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 10-15 minutes.
• While the pastry chills, when the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel and add the sweet potato to a mixing bowl mash until smooth. Whisk in the sugar, cream, maple syrup, eggs, cinnamon and nutmeg.
• Preheat oven to 350°F/177 °C and position rack on lower 1/3 of the oven.
• Remove the dough from the fridge and roll out onto a floured surface. *see note.
• Roll the dough over the rolling pin and lift into a greased 9 inch pie dish. Leave a 1 inch overhang, then fold the edges under and make the edges pretty. Use a fork to prick holes in the base of the dough. Lightly cover the crust edge with foil. Bake in the center of the oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, remove the foil and allow to cool slightly.
• To a mixing bowl, add the cooled sweet potato and mash until smooth. Add the sugar, cream, maple syrup, eggs, cinnamon and nutmeg. Whisk until mixed and smooth.
• Pour the filling into the pie crust, place on a baking sheet and bake for 50 minutes until the filling is set. It will still be jiggly. Remove from the oven and cool completely.

Steps:

• When it comes to fall vegetable-based pies, some individuals fancy pumpkin, while others (like me) are die-hard sweet potato fans.

Originally created for an article in Fine Cooking magazine, this dessert is always one of my Thanksgiving pie offerings. I can't tell you how many people have said as they down the last crumb, "and I thought I didn't like sweet potato pie."
• This is like a sweet potato custard, and you will want to take care not to overbake the filling. Check it frequently as it nears the end of its baking time and remember that it will set up a bit as it cools.

Cool, peel, and put the flesh through a food mill or mash smoothly with a potato masher. You should have 2 cups of puree.
• Turn oven down to 375 degrees F.
• Combine the puree with all the remaining ingredients for the filling. Whisk until well combined and smooth. Pour the filling into the partially baked pie shell. Bake for about 45 to 50 minutes, until the filling is just barely set. When the rim of the pie plate is nudged, the very center of the filling should barely move.
• Cool the pie to room temperature. It can be made several hours or up to 1 day in advance.
• Place the flour, salt and sugar in the bowl of a food processor with a steel blade. Pulse to combine.
• Add the chilled butter and shortening; pulse until the fat is evenly cut in and the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Remove to a mixing bowl.
