Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place sweet potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake until very soft, about 1 hour. When potatoes are cool enough to handle halve and scoop out enough flesh to measure 2 cups, reserving remainder for another use and discarding skin. While potatoes are still hot, add butter and mash until almost smooth; small lumps of potato should remain.
- Whisk together eggs, sugar, allspice, ginger, and salt. Stir in evaporated milk, lemon juice, and vanilla. Gradually add egg mixture to sweet potatoes, whisking gently to combine.
- Pour the filling into the cooled piecrust. Bake for 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to 325 degrees F and bake until the filling is set around edges but still jiggles slightly when shaken, about 20 more minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, about 30 minutes.
- To make the meringue topping, in a large bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks start to form. Slowly add the sugar while beating constantly. Beat until glossy and stiff peaks form, being careful not to over beat the meringue.
- Preheat the broiler.
- While the pie is still warm spread the meringue evenly over the filling, smoothing out to the pastry edges to seal. Place under the broiler and cook until the meringue is golden brown, about 1 minute.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a rack, about 1 hour. Serve.
- Gingersnap Crust:Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a bowl, combine the ginger snap crumbs, butter, and brown sugar and blend well.
- Transfer to a 9-inch pie pan, and press into the bottom and up the sides with your fingers. Place another 9-inch pie pan on top of the crust and press firmly to smooth and pack the crust. (Some of the crust may spill over the edges of the pan.)Brush the crust with the egg white.
- Bake until golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool. Refrigerate, tightly covered, for one hour before using, or freeze for up to 6 weeks.

SWEET POTATO PIE WITH GINGERSNAP CRUST AND MERINGUE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and lay on a foil lined bake sheet. Bake for 1 hour, rotating halfway through cook time.
- Remove from oven and set aside until cool enough to handle.
- When cool, peel and dice. Toss into a food processor and pulse until smooth,adding 1 to 2 tbs of water as needed.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Pulse the gingersnap cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs.
- Measure out 2 cups and set aside any additional crumbs for another time.
- Pulse the 2 cups crumbs with the brown sugar and salt. Add the melted butter and pulse until the mixture is like wet sand.
- Press the gingersnap mixture into a 9" tart pan or 9" springform pan. Press up the sides with your fingers or the bottom of a glass for a nice even layer.
- Freeze for 8 to 10 minutes then bake in the preheated oven 6 to 8 minutes. Remove and let cool completely.
- Preheat the oven to 375.
- Whisk the evaporated milk, eggs, and maple syrup in a bowl.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the 2 cups sweet potatoes just to fluff a bit. Add the evaporated milk mixture and beat to combine on medium speed.
- Stir together the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg in a bowl. Add to the sweet potato mixture and mix to combine. Scrape down the sides as needed. Add the butter and mix once again.
- Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared crust and bake for 20 to 25 minutes (I did mine in a 9" springform pan and it took 40-45 minutes), until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool on a wire rack completely before making the meringue.
- Using a double boiler, or the metal bowl of your stand mixer, whisk the egg whites until frothy. Add the sugar and mix to combine.
- Set the bowl over a simmering saucepan of water and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved, whisking constantly. Remove from the double boiler and set in your stand mixer.
- Whisk the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Add the cream of tartar, whisk another 6 minutes, when the mixture holds those peaks, and add the vanilla. Whisk to combine. Seriously, we're going for stiff peaks here people!
- Spoon the meringue over the sweet potato pie and swirl or peak with a spoon (my dad's a peaker, I'm a swirler). Brown with a kitchen torch. Slice and serve.

Steps:
- Place the sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.

SWEET-POTATO PIE WITH GINGERSNAP PECAN CRUST
In many sweet-potato pies, the ginger and spices overwhelm the flavor of the potatoes. This version plays to the flavor of the tubers; a little spicy nuttiness from the gingersnap pecan crust just emphasizes the pie's luscious creaminess. It is perfectly normal for the surface of a custardy pie, like this one, to crack in the course of baking and cooling-the pie will taste no less delicious.

Steps:
- Make crust:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour pie plate, knocking out excess flour.
- Toss together all crust ingredients in a bowl with a fork until crumbs are moistened, then press evenly over bottom and up side of pie plate. Bake crust 6 minutes, then cool on a rack.
- Make filling:
- Increase oven temperature to 400°F.
- Prick each sweet potato once with a fork. Roast in a foil-lined shallow baking pan until tender, about 1 hour. Remove from oven and reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Halve potatoes lengthwise and cool.
- While potatoes cool, cook sugar in a dry 8-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally with a fork, until sugar melts into a deep golden caramel. Remove from heat. Carefully pour water down side of skillet (mixture will bubble and steam vigorously), then return to heat and simmer, stirring, until hardened caramel is completely dissolved. Remove from heat.
- When potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel, then cut away any eyes or dark spots. Purée potatoes in a food processor until smooth, then add eggs, cinnamon, and salt and blend until smooth. Add milk, caramel, rum, and vanilla, and blend until combined well.
- Pour filling into crust. Bake until filling 2 inches from edge is slightly puffed and center trembles slightly when gently shaken, 40 to 50 minutes (top may crack; filling will continue to set as it cools). If the crust begins to brown too much before the filling is done, crimp a ring of foil or use a pie shield to protect it. Cool pie on rack about 1 hour.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.

SWEET-POTATO MERINGUE PIE
The Southern counterpart to pumpkin, this sweet potato pie (pictured on the left) comes topped with a sugary cloud of meringue for extra crowd-pleasing appeal. Keep in mind, the baked pie needs plenty of time to cool before being topped with the meringue-about 2 1/2 hours-but the good news is that it can be made the day before!

Steps:
- Sweet-Potato Pie: Preheat oven to 425°F. Pierce sweet potatoes in a few places with a fork, and bake until very soft, about 1 hour 15 minutes, depending on size of potatoes.
- Meanwhile, roll out dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate, and trim edge, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- When sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, scoop out enough flesh to measure 2 cups (reserve any remaining flesh for another use), and transfer to a food processor. Add eggs, milk, cream, sugars, salt, nutmeg, and vanilla, and process until smooth.
- Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Pour filling into crust. Bake until filling puffs and cracks around edge and pie is just set, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack, about 2 1/2 hours. Pie can be kept at room temperature for 1 day, covered loosely with parchment or foil.
- Meringue: Beat egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar in a bowl with a mixer on low speed until foamy. Raise speed to high, and add granulated sugar in a slow, steady stream. Whisk until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 5 minutes. Spoon meringue on top of pie. Lightly brown meringue in places with a small kitchen torch (or broil about 7 inches from heat source about 45 seconds).

Steps:
- Make filling:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. and line a baking sheet with foil.
- Prick sweet potatoes in several places with a fork and on baking sheet bake in middle of oven until very soft, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, halve and scoop out enough flesh to measure 2 cups, reserving remainder for another use. In a food processor purée flesh with all remaining filling ingredients except ginger until smooth. Finely chop ginger and stir into filling. Filling may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring filling to room temperature before proceeding.
- On a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin roll out dough into a 14-inch round (about 1/8 inch thick) and fit into a 9-inch (1-quart) glass pie plate. Trim dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, and crimp edge decoratively. With a fork prick bottom and side of shell all over. Chill shell 30 minutes, or until firm.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Line shell with foil and fill with pie weights or raw rice. Bake shell in middle of oven 25 minutes and carefully remove foil and weights or rice. Bake shell until just pale golden, about 10 minutes more. Pour filling into shell and bake pie in middle of oven 40 minutes.
- Make meringue after pie has baked 30 minutes:
- In a large metal bowl stir together sugar and cinnamon until combined well. Set bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and add whites, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove bowl from heat and with an electric mixer beat whites until they hold stiff, glossy peaks.
- Mound meringue in center of hot filling and spread almost to edge of pie. Bake pie in middle of oven until meringue is golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes more. Serve pie warm or at room temperature.
