As delicious as it is easy, this sweet potato pie is a real taste of the South. Pretty much mix everything together and bake it in a pie shell. The spicing is simple so the sweet potato flavor really comes through.

    My mom was from Alabama and made these every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. This is how she made them. Truly the southern recipe.

  2. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    Outstanding recipe.. I am from the south and my mom bakes sweet potato pies with her eyes closed. Unfortunately, I couldn't contact her so I used this recipe. I used it for a pot luck and I had no ideal it would come out so great. Thanks for posting this recipe.

  3. neciekitchen REVIEW:

    I have had so many compliments on this recipe that people have begged me to make more.

  5. EternallyB REVIEW:

    This was my first time making a sweet potato pie, although as a girl with southern roots, Ive had plenty of them in my day. It was amazing! Although I spent most of the prep time doubting I could do it, It was the best sweet potato pie anyone in my family had ever had. They've officially placed "orders" for me to make them for thanksgiving. Great recipe!

  6. bvish REVIEW:

    Amazing and easy recipe!!! This was the first time I made the sweet potato pie and it turned out just like how one of our southern friend makes it. Now we don't have to wait for her pie every year!!! I just substituted the corn syrup with equal parts honey. Otherwise, perfect. Thank you so much!
