Sweet Potato Slab Pie Recipes

SWEET POTATO SLAB PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• On a lightly floured surface, unroll 3 pie crusts (after they've softened for a few minutes to make them easier to unroll) and place the crusts end to end and roll out to a 19 x 14-inch rectangle. The crusts may need to overlap slightly.
• Fit the crust into a half sheet pan. Fold extra crust underneath and crimp if desired. Poke bottom and sides of crust with fork. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.
• Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
• Using a blender, food processor, stand mixer or by hand, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, eggs, half-and-half, vanilla, cinnamon and ginger until smooth as possible. Note: there may be a few little lumps in the battered that's okay.
• Pour filling mixture into pan. Bake 25 to 28 minutes or until the center of filling is set, remove from the oven.
• Cool on the cooling rack until cool then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, prepare the finally crust for decoration. Remove pie crust from the refrigerator and let it sit out for a few minutes to make it easier to roll out. Using different size round cookie cutters, cut out shapes.
• Bake the pie crusts shapes on an ungreased cookie sheet for 11-15 minutes until lightly golden. Arrange them on your cooled pie and serve!
